This is not an age thing

Well you have just contradicted yourself there.....older people like their sleep. It probably does lower their immunity more than it would a younger person. I smoke occasionally but stepping outside in the cold and damp for a cigarette makes me think twice. I pick up colds easily, I am mid fifties.... It's quite understandable how they have become unwell. It's been cold and going from a warm house into the cold air every 5 mins to smoke is not good
So it is an 'age thing'. I love to see the older people in the house to give some diversity...and maturity. Maybe a summer CBB is a better option.

Im "over 21" and smoke outside, I also go to bed hours after my younger husband and my daughters,I have more energy and drive than most 18 year old ,I dont get unwell from going outside any more than a 18 yr old would ,its a bit ageist what you are suggesting

Well you are lucky then...it's not the case with many. It's a fact that older people are more prone to illnesses and colds and flu. It doesn't surprise me in the least if they have both been unwell....
As I have said before I am not ageist...I like the older people in there.
