haha thank's for the advice! i guess i'll have a problem then. i live in a flat, 2nd floor, it's hard/impossible to leave the house and return and don't be noticed by my parents.
the strange thing is that i've been doing it for 6 months and my mother just mentioned it now...
i think that probably more than the smoke that the wind may push to the inside the house through the window, is the smell that keeps in my breathing that gives the room that smell.

: Hey!
:
: First I must tell you that I live with my
: parents.
: I started smoking in August 2007... I've
: always done it in the closet, but for more
: than one year I only smoked about 1
: cigarette a day on avarage (sometimes a bit
: more, sometimes none).
:
: Since October 2008 my addiction started
: getting bigger and I increased my daily
: ammount a little bit.
:
: This makes me smoke everyday right before
: going to bed when my parents are already
: sleeping.
: I open the windows of my bedroom and smoke.
: I always make sure that no smoke comes to
: the inside of the house.
:
: For the last 6 and a half months I thought
: that I was doing everything perfectly and my
: parents didn't notice anything.
:
: Suddenly, today, my mother told me then when
: she entered my bedroom in the mornings it
: kind of smelled like smoke.
: I told her it could be from many things, but
: it was probably because of a shirt that I
: use when I go to some clubs at night where
: people smoke, and that I forgot to send to
: laundry.
:
: I know that it was a bad excuse but that's
: what came to my mind under pressure.
:
: Now, the thing is: I don't want to tell my
: parents that I've been smoking, but I don't
: want to stop smoking too (specially before
: going to sleep).
:
: So, in my situation, what would you do? I
: think that if I don't change nothing of the
: things that I've been doing I'll be caught
: soon.
