Smoking--------I rate high!
My dad smokes a lot every day and it really bothers me and my mom and brother but mostly me. We all tell him to stop and he's always like "I will tomorrow or next week or after this and that"
And I always have to remind him to open the door or window when he's near me while he smokes...I mean he doesn't do it 24-7 and he knows when to draw the line sometimes, but it bothers me and I know he's ruining his health...not to metion I think he's ruining mine too! I suddenly can't run laps at school without me stoping breathing and it bothers me b/c it never seems like he cares...my mom stuck to her word about quitting after our cruise and I know its addicting but I want him to stop should I like hide his cigarrets from him or throw them out? What should I do? Plz help I will rate! (ps...it's embarrassing when he leaves his smokes out with the ashtray b/c my friends don't like it either :o!)

Maybe give some free advice about: Condoms?
tell your dad that your really worried about him smoking. tell him to promise you that he wont smoke because u dont wanna lose him. and keep reminding him that he could hurt his health and tell him that if he loves you hed quit

Sit down with your dad and tell him your serious. he might think that hes only hurting himself but the second hand smoke you and your mom are breathing is even more dangerous. maybe find a website that tells him about the serious causes of smoking or the effects its had on people. Or you can ask your mom to buy nicotine patches for him. i hope everything works out..

ive had the same problem before. My friends didnt like it either. We used to gather all his ciggarettes every1 one of them and flush them down the toilet.You could try to get him to smoke less every day until hes not smokin anymore. Keep him doing something so he doesnt smoke as much.

If it bothers u that much and he won't quit.. ask him if he can smoke outside. Then u don't have to be around him when he smokes. Tell him that it is making u sick and that u r having breathing problems from the second hand smoke and that u need him to smoke outside or at lease away from u. If that doesn't work... leave the room when hes smoking. And if ur in the car with him and hes smoking.. roll down a window.. that will help a lil bit at least.
Hope I was of some help! If u need anything else.. drop one in the inbox!!

Well, my fRiend's GRandmotheR smokes, and my fRiend always tRies to stop heR by hiding heR cigaRettes, and while it'll hold him off foR a while, he'll just go Right out and puRchase some moRe. Not to mention, this would pRobaly angeR him, so peRhaps it isn't the best way to go about it. I suggest just talking to him on it. Be fiRm and make shoRe you Really lay the caRds on the table. Tell him you'Re conceRned foR him, and not only is it affecting him.. it's affecting you. Just tell him exactly how you feel, and let him know that it would be gReatly appReciated if he took the Rest of the family into consideRation. Goodluck! Hopefully things woRk out! I wish you the best! Hope I helped!! =D

my dad is the EXACT same way. i am a madman when i see him or even smell ciggaretts on him. i take his ciggaretts n water them n do mean things to him with them but nothing works. my mom had cancer n we told him that if he does get cancer that we wouldnt drive him to chemo (harsh i know but we had to make a point) this has been going on for 4 years in my house n he still hasnt stopped. theonly thing left for you to do is to pray n hope that he finally realizes what hes doing to himself and to the rest of his family. because the only person that can stop him is himself.

i know exactly what you are going through.. thats the same with me and my dad.. except my mom never smoked.. but anyways tell him its hurting you emotionally and physically and tell him that you will help him to quit.. its very hard for an addict to quit tho.. my dad has tried it soo many times wiht pills and the patches and stuff.. but dont throw them out or hide them becaus emost likely hell just buy new ones!! good luck hope ive helped

I think u should have a seriouis talk with your dad. Tell him how u feel about it and that u dont want him to be in danger of the things that could happen tell him that u care about him and u want to help him stop for his sake and yours andothers around or ask him to goo outside n tell him u cant put up with it and that u can feel it effecting u . talk about the serious diseases and conditions that come along with smoking. tell him how second hand smoke is even worse even if he alreadi knows stress it that u kno and want him to stop . also get ur mom n brother to talk with u to him the more he knows everyone wants him to stop and care about him it might give him more ambition to stop. good luck and hope i helped

Have a family meeting and purpose the idea of him quitting. Tell him that you think that it's impairing his health as well as his loved ones. Tell him that it's really hurting you that he smokes, and he should really listen to how you feel and think of a reasonable way to solve it. If he's not willing to give up smoking maybe he can smoke outside and when he's not around people that don't want to be around it? You really need to sit him down and make him listen to him... And be firm about it but not mean... Hope all goes well for you :) -Britty-
