    It's not illegal to smoke in your truck.

    There must be something about his cigs that are causing a problem. Not all cigs are created equal. Are there the small pop out windows on the doors (the little triangular ones at the front of the main window), or another window or something that could be opened a small amount to lessen the smoke? Just thinking here of some things that may help out with the smoke build up.

    Females can be trained by men, and the other way around. I had two male trainers (first one was an idiot with 6 months under his belt) when I started. Even though there are more women driving it's still hard to get female trainers.

    even when i was a regular smoker I was amazed at people that could smoke in their vehicle with the windows all sealed up.I used to love my Marlboro Menthols but I would never even thought about smoking one without a window cracked or all the way open when the weather was good.

    I've always got a window open a little at least when I am smoking in a vehicle. Even when I'm not smoking I usually have a window open a little unless it's cold out.

    Lol yes now I know how the nonsmokers feel and I would like to apologize now to anyone who has ever had to inhale my smoke and gag lol. This is quite painful. But I just looked at the book and I am on day 11 with him so maybe I can make it 17 more days..i don't know. Hopefully I won't get cancer first.I have been keeping the window oon my top bunk open and it does help. I am not sure what is in his brand of cigarettes that is causing me so much suffering but I'm willing to bet it contains lots of pollen lol.

    Roll down your side of the window and try to stick it out.

    Perhaps open the top bunk window near your feet, since opening the one by your head would suck the smoke out across your face.

    Can you sleep with your face in your blanket? I've had to try this a few times in summer when someone's exhaust is blowing into my window. The material of the blanket can act as a bit of a filter.

    It is hard to ask him to step outside or even open a window, since you are a smoker yourself... but allergic reactions really suck!
