Is working out with DOMS everyday bad?
I'm currently following this bodybuilding workout routine :
Day 1 : Legs/Abs
Day 2 : Upper body
6 days a week, with 1 rest day.
This has been nice for the past two months (I'm a beginner) but now, I have DOMS every day and when I have to workout legs and abs, I still have DOMS on legs and abs, same for upper body, even after the rest day.
Is it bad to always have DOMS and never train "fresh" muscles ? Is it an indicator that shows my muscles need more rest ? Should I change to a split routine ?
PS : I'd like to continue 6 days a week because I stopped smoking and working out really helps me not to smoke, it's way harder on rest day.
UPDATE
I edited the question in order to be more specific on having DOMS everyday, always and never train "fresh" muscles. I don't think this is a duplicate now.

Yes training with DOMS is perfectly fine.
Working out more frequently will make you almost immune to muscle soreness, since I started training everyday I've never experienced muscle soreness again.
Also Ginger is proven by science to be better than drugs in reducing inflamation
It actually helps with almost any type of pain.
Mind that it doesn't just magically eliminate muscle pain the first time you take, it slowly accelerates recovery day by day until the point where you no more feel soreness.
I had already lost my sensitivity to DOMS a long time ago by training everyday but I also started using ginger when I increased my leg training volume.
