Re: Smoking is bad for you
I have been in your exact position, with the parents not to fond of my cigar habit (they still aren't, but I live 5,000 miles away and am now 27, so not a big issue). I lived with my parents when I first started smoking and I followed many of the suggestions here: I kept my smoking away from their house. I would smoke at a B&M, and make sure that lots of time went by before I went home, to make sure the smell was dissipated as my mom is very sensitive to smoke smells. I would smoke on camping trips, golfing, or while out and about. My dad does enjoy an occasional cigar, and we would smoke when golfing together, or when he had a lot of time without my mom around.
Once I moved out, I could smoke when and where I wanted. I moved back in with my parents a few years later for a short time and went back to the limited smoking and only doing so away from them, even though at that point they had grown to accept that I smoked cigars. It is awesome that you have your parents' blessing, and that you are respectful enough to follow their rules and not smoke until you got it. My only suggestion would be that, even with their blessing, you should still be respectful if they do not like the smell of smoke and be sure to smoke away from their home.
