You should poop in her washing machine so she can know the way you feel about the smell.

No doubt it's super selfish on her end. Just hard to cut ties with Mom with zero regret.

Purchase gas masks from the local Army surplus store. Wear them to visit, explaining exactly why you have to do it.

My mom died when I was 17 from lung cancer Not a day goes by that I don't wish I'd had one chance to take my kids to her house. Needless to say she didn't get the opportunity to lay eyes on either one of them. |

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect her not to smoke around your kids if she is asking to see them.

She's using the mother/grandmother card to make it OK to act like an asshole. That is selfish on her part. Is he supposed to bend to her will just because she is his mother? I say "no", and if I was in this exact same situation I wouldn't feel one bit bad about it.
If that makes me a bad person in anyone's eyes, so be it. |

You said she tried ecigs. Does she still have them/it? If so, ask her to at least use it when you and the kids are over. 3-4 hours using an ecig when you and the kids are around shouldn't be a big deal.
Should be a decent compromise, all things considered. |
