I generally smoke my pipe outside for no reason other than I enjoy being outdoors. When the weather is bad, I light up inside. Occasionally, I'll have a pipe at the dining room table after a big meal in front of the TV. My wife has never said a word about where I smoke but I do tend to to prefer the porch. I'm just curious how many of you smoke in the house and if your partner is OK with that?

"Her indoors" is totally intolerant of tobacco smoke, so outdoors smoker at all times - front porch/verandah or infrequently the back patio (not enclosed and tends to be much windier)

I did discuss turning one of our rooms into a smoking room with an industrial kitchen extractor/ventilating system, but was given short shrift.

As I have already commented in other threads, 80% I smoke in my smoker's room, with the window open about 15 centimeters, the door closed. In this room, I have my modest library, and the small collection of distillates, the computer, etc, you know. My wife likes or tolerates sweet tobaccos, aromatics, virginias. She hates the smell of cigars. The other 20% practically in the golf club, there is a terrace, where you can smoke without problems, while you have a coffee or your favorite drink, and watch the golfers play. Some of them smoke pipes or cigars during their breaks. And I ask them what tobacco they are smoking. Smoking on the fairway, has to be with wind at speed, zero kilometers, I don't like breeze at all, as the smoke goes away, and I don't enjoy the aroma.

Not in the house, not in her vehicle.
Wife and I switched to air fresheners for primary nicotine delivery mainly due to work constraints about 5-6 years ago, but from 2012 until then we did our smoking in the garage, outside, or in our vehicles, but not the main living quarters.
From the eighties to ‘12 every residence I had got trashed by smoking, but then again, medical facilities had ashtrays hanging in the halls so the docs could put their smokes out on the way into exam rooms….

Outside on the deck or hiking about when weather allows and sometimes in my vehicle on a road trip - winter at home = heated garage. No option with current house setup for a dedicated space and we both prefer the house to smell of dogs and/or whatever we just cooked or baked, lol.

I smoke 1-2 pipes in the house most days while sitting at my desk otherwise it’s outside or in the garage. The wife and I both smoke cigarettes but those along with Toscanos and other cigars are smoked outside and in the garage only.
