Can't tell: There are too many variables here. However, you do have a risk of lung cancer from second hand smoke if you live with her..And of course an even higher risk if you smoke too!

Please don't!: Flower, i really hope from my heart that you will stop smoking. It is something you must decide for yourself. But here's why i care: smoking hurts you. You have a high chance of cancer of your mouth, throat, nose, bladder, esophagus, etc, not just your lungs. You risk heart attack, stroke, ending up on oxygen for life, and dying young. Many doctors will help if you want to quit! we care!
