Thank you for the advice! So i guess im going to try my best to try and hide out from nighbors seeing me smoke. I have this little plan. We have a picnic table like right beside my house. When I smoke, Im going to put one of my trash bins up on the chair so they cant see me. I know it sounds stupid but it might work. If it doesnt, then I guess if they see me, I will hope for the best. I think the nieghbor behind me has seen me smoke but I played it cool but also tried to hide my cigarette so maybe they didnt think anything of it. Anyways thanks for the advice!
