First, a bit of history so this makes sense. As I said before, one of the reasons I decided to go to the school I did is so I can help keep a eye on my grandmother (she is very big on her "freedom" and wouldn't even think of moving somewhere else). One of the things that brought this around is that we found out she had gotten addicted to pain meds, had realized it and quit, but had gotten depressed to the point where she was thinking of ODing on sleeping pills. Needless to say we were scared and talked her into staying with us for a good 3-4 months. While she was with us, my mother talked her into quitting smoking, something she has been doing for 50+ years. And something she kept up with when she went back home.
Well I live on the same street and try to make it over every day. Today when I went over, she was shoving things into a hidden cupboard in the living room under her side table. It was pretty clear she was smoking (the smell was very very strong, much more so then would come from a fire outside, or someone walking by). I ignored it and went on with our visit.
My question is, Do you think I should bring this up with her?
My main feelings on this is that she is a adult, she knows what happens if she takes it up again, and it's not my place to give her a hard time. That said, she is on some meds, and she is in theory to get her legs strengthen. I am a bit worried she hasn't brought up that she is smoking with her doctors. Could this have a affect on what she is doing?
I have to say, it was pretty funny to see her rushing to hide it as if I was some parents who would yell at her, but at the same time, it was a bit sad...I'm not sure what to do, or if I should just forget I saw anything at all
