I so understand you. But I'd suspect if I were you. Because my parents have always been smoking, and I haaate cigarettes like death. Then my dad said he'd quit, cold turkey. I think he was holding up pretty well, until.... I found out he's still secretly smoking. Till today, he hides the fact that he's smoking still. Usually at the bathroom. But I've seen the signs. small piles of ash at some places, lighters lying around, and I even found cigs leftovers. I always smell the smoke from outside the bathroom door, I have a very good sense of smell (too bad for him). He knows how much I hate it, and he couldn't stop smoking, so he hides it from me. Oh, but I know. At least he doesn't smoke near me anymore, that's something.
I know what you mean, my grandma has 'stopped smoking' for about 10 years now, yet always come to visit and steals my mum's cigarettes. It must be terribly difficult to stop an addiction like that, but the fact that they're willing to try after 30 years of it is a good thing at least. It's good that your dad was considerate enough to stop smoking around you though. 🙂
