get dad to quit smoking
My dad smokes. I try to make him stop by saying "please stop smoking dad" or "you should quit" or cough really loud when he lights up a cigarette. DAMN IT, I FUCKING HATE THE SMELL! He smokes when hes in the bathroom, i just hate it. When i cough and stuff around him he'll be like OH SHUT UP, YOU SHOULD BE USED TO IT ALREADY or YOUR OVERREACTING. and id be like, havent you ever heard of second hand smoke dad?? he doesn't care.. i mean hes a good dad but he needs to stop. i dont think he'd do that nicotene patch or gum thing. When i tell my mom about it, she'd be like, get used to it, or she'd do nothing about it. What should i do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
tell him that by smoking he's not only risking his life, but also yours. Maybe that'll help. Hope so! Good Luck!

Pray...I have the same problem, but my parebts are seperated. Beacuse of that and a lot of other things I've stopped going over there(my parents are divoced). He's finally stopped smoking and it's the saddest thing I've seen when you realize it's your parent who's killing themselves and the people around them. See if you have a family member to stay with. No matter what your health is way more important than letting it be killed by careless smoking. ~*AmAnDa*~

make a deal with your dad. i bet you know something that he always gets on you for it (clean room etc) say "dad if i do ___ will you stop smoking. it worked for me because my dad never wore his seatbelt but now he does, and since i've reminded him so much, it has almost become a habit for him (yes!) good luck!

Well you should show him the stitistices of smoking realated deaths. Also at local hospitals there is a smoke free training. It is most of the time free. It doesn't teach you to quit but they talk about what could happen if you dont. Then there is a part two on quiting. Were I live tons of people do it and the usualy quit

There really isn't much to do. Just talk to him and get him to like smoke outside and away from you so that you don't get cancer. My Mom smokes and so do my Grandparents and I hate it too.

My mom smokes too, I *hate* the smell. I made her not smoke around me cuz I dont want to get second hand smoke & all that. I think you just have a serious talk with him, and if he wont quit, maybe you could ask him not to smoke around you so much? Or ask your mom to say something to your dad about it.

Tell him the dangers of second hand smoke. You have a greater risk of getting cancer than he does.
He's harming you more than he's harming himself.
My dad used to smoke a lot, but then he quit... COLD TURKEY!
Smokers tend to always want to have something in their hands or in their mouth... such as cigarettes.
One of my friends suggested straws. Like straws you mix your coffee with at stores.... Just chew on them. That helps a lot...
He said that he didn't just stop smoking all together. He used the straws, and he only smoked after each meal.
What a suggestion!

Hi, I know what you mean, my dad has smoked all his life. I've tried every way possible to get him to stop smoking, I've even gotten on my knees. And now my grandfather is dying of lung cancer and he still wont stop. I think that maybe you should get him like articles on the computer and stuff about real people who have died of second hand smoking and ask him if he really wants that to happen to you. Just try to get to him...

well my dads dad used to smoke and well he stopped now but, he used to play tricks on him, like when his dad lighted his cigarett it would blow up or somethin. I dont know if you can still buy stuff like that but maybe you should llike try playing tricks on him with it. like echange the real cigaretts for fake bubblegum ones.
H.i.H.

You shold really talk to him about it, like sit him down when he's not talking and tell him that it concerns you very much and that it affects everyone else's health around him. Aks him if he wud be happy knowing that what he is doing is slowly killing the people arould him. Tell him the dangerous affects and facts about smoking, you should not have to "get used to" something like this, you should not have to be exposed to something this unhealthy every day of your life. Hope this helps

You need to sit down with your parents and have a sort of family meeting. If you have siblings, get them to come and express their feelings on your dads filthy habit. Tell them some basic facts about second hand smoke and things like that by going to www.ydouthink.com Share this with your family, and tell them your willing to do anything you can to help your dad stop.-Julia

try talking to him about how bad you dont like it, hopefully the bathrooms the only room that he smokes in, possibly you can convince him to at least take a step outside to have a cigarette. hopefully hell understand you and how much its affecting your life too, he should think of you all the time. yea, try talking to him about it. x0

Its great that you care for your dad's health, and your own, even though he doesn't, but havnt you ever heard the expression "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Adults are stubborn, its hard to get them to change their ways. If it really bothers you don't be around it, but make a point of it. Like wheb you walk out the room be like "maybe yous are used to it but I refuse to, so maybe I should just excuse myself" that will probably get him thinking, especially if he lights up very often. Hope I helped! Good luck!
