When people come in for an interview, if they are smokers I know it. My throat closes up around smoke & really strong second hand smoke. But it's simple enough to pick up the baby to see if they smell of smoke or not. I have to admit that if the child reeked of smoke I would not be able to consider them as a client. That would bother me enough on a daily basis to make me unhappy.

However, I actually have 2 children in care who have a smoking parent. The children never smell of smoke, not even a tiny bit. I get the smelly parents in and out as fast as possible, they never come into my home very far, I have their children ready to go as their vehicle pulls into the parking lot. I don't have any problems.

This is a question you don't have to verbalize. Your nose will know!
