death
about 5 years ago my grandmother died from lung cancer. before i was born my grandfother also dies from lung cancer. about 6 years ago my other gradfather died from pancreas cancer. Now when i see my father smoking and my friend chris smoking and drinking it worries me that they will leave me soon. I constanly cry when chris talks about getting blazed and my father smokes because i dont want the same thing to happen to them. then i just stand on the side lines and feel like i cant do anything about it. is there anything i can do to help them or not make it so hurtful for me to be around them?

well its a good thing that you dont smoke cause obviously you know its bad..try talking to your friend (you cant really help your dad because he's an adult but tell him you feel hurtful around him mabye he can help you) ;)

I had a similar happening a couple of years ago, when my grandpa died from skin cancer. He did chewing tobacco even after he had gotten the cancer. He never went to see a doctor about the cancer, so as the years went on it only got worse, spreading across his face. My dad does chewing tobacco and it scares me to death that he might get cancer some day and could die. I'm constantly telling him he needs to stop. I think you need to sit down and talk to your dad and your friend. Let them know that you really care about them, and that you don't anything to happen to them. Maybe you could research on ways on how to help them quit, and encourage them that they can quit with a little will power. Hope I helped!
GOOD LUCK!

It will probably be hard to get them to stop, they're both addicted to it. The only thing you can really do is ask them to stop, and maybe take them to a place where they show people what smoking does to their lungs, it probably won't make them quit, but it'll make them think.
The only thing you can do is keep encouraging them to quit, I think you'll have a better shot with Chris on helping him out, he's stil young and probably not as addicted, and parents are stubborn.
But DON'T stop encouraging them to quit!! Eventually, they'll hopefully listen.

UNDERSTAND that they are addicted. Ask your dad and your friend chris if they would stop if you could help them. You can research ways to end their addiction and help them along, offer your help. Also tell them that you are so terrified of loosing them and you wouldnt know what to do without them. Explain clearly to them how you feel and beg and plead them to stop. If they tell you that you wont, let them see you shed some tears, and dont give up. Keep bringing up the topic until they stop, its a serious situation and you need to be involved so that you can save their lives... name all the people who you know who died of smoking and tell them you cant take it 1 more time ....
GOOD LUCK HUN!
