I think my mom is smoking again
Hi. Please answer. Right now my mom is going through divorce with my father. They were married 18 years and he can't find a job. My mom is paying him 1300 a month becuase he can't get a job. 'temporary living confindments' (she kept the house) is what its caused. This is making us have money problems. She travels for her job as well and I'm entering Highschool(Shes stressed) One day I was going to put something in my mom's glove compartement and I found a box of cigarettes. My grandparents were visiting and I told my grandma and so I confronted my mom. She promised not to smoke again. I took her cigarettes (we were together) and threw them out. Today I found a box of cigarettes in her glove compartement again. What should I DO?

Well talk to your mom about smoking my grandma used to smoke a lot and then she quit with one of those nicotine patches so talk to your mom and tell her you really dont like when she smokes and it worries you..and about your moms friend maybe they can stop smoking together...hope you find thi useful

Well if she's gonna do it.. she's gonna do it. TheRe's Really no stopping heR. HoweveR, just tell heR flat out how you feel. Don't beat aRound the bush and cause confusion, just get Right into it. Tell heR youR conceRned foR heR health and well-being. Let heR know you caRe and it kills you to see heR willingly taking poison into heR system. You could TRY asking heR politely to stop smoking, and make it cleaR how much it would mean to you. Just infoRm heR that you'd Really appReciate if she took youR wishes into consideRation. I wish you the veRy best!! Hope I helped!!

confront her !!!! and let her kno how much it botherz yu!! shez really stressed rite now with everything going on so you have to understand her side, but smoking is dangerous and harmful so let her know that youre worried and also, try and find a job so yu can help her out with money so she wuldnt be soo stressed out..
and no matter how many times you throw out her cigz...she can still get some cuz of her friend..so make sure you speak to her about it !!
or tell her that if she smokez..yu will too..so then she'll get an idea of how much it hurtz YOU..cuz if yu smoked, shed be upset and all...so, let her kno that itz the same way yur feeling about her smoking rite now!!
hope this helped !! need more help, ask.

Divorces are very stressful and hard on so many people. My parents split when I was little and it was very hard. I would confront your mom again and tell her that you don't not want her to smoke. But also talk to her about the divorce only if you are comfortable. A lot of people smoke when they are stressed and going through rough times but that doesn't make smoking ever ok. I'm so sorry about the divorce, hang in there sweetie.
~Hope I was of Help~
If you ever need advice or anything I will be so happy to help!

hi.. it's your moms decision not yours.. she is a grown person and can make the decisions for herself, wether they are good or bad, but she'll deal with them.. i hated the fact that my mom used to smoke but she's an adult and can do what she wants.. after talking to her about it and telling her how easily she can get sick (like lung cancer) and die from it.. just talk to her about it and tell her all the causes about smoking, WITHOUT bringing up the fact that you know she is again.. alright.. bye!

Your moms an adult and can make her own choices. But if you really want her to stop just talk to your mom about it and tell her you understand everything shes going through but it hurts to see her smoke
