Good idea! I just might do that
Blaming it on DH's genes will be less likely to offend your Dad.Throw in that DH was susceptible to cold and chest things as a child and had numerous infections. That's probably why my MIL didn't mind so much, we blamed me and my side of the family.

There is nothing worse than having your baby handed back to you and she reeks of cigarette smoke that has "rubbed off" that persons clothes. I really don't think smokers realise how bad they smell sometimes!
My parents came over to stay with us when DD was 4 weeks old and they are heavy smokers. There was one day that my mum had been holding DD just after she'd had a cigarette and DD was stinking of smoke. I blew my top. They were very careful after that. But I am absolutely 100% convinced that their second hand smoke aggravated DD's reflux and I've told them so since then. She needed to be put on medication for her reflux after they left and while I know that the smoke isn't the one and only cause of her reflux, it most definitely contributed to it.
For me, it's absolutely unacceptable to smoke around babies if the parents don't want you to (and at all!!). You're not being over the top at all hun.
