Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
The only thing I can think of is... don't be around her when she's doing this. It's not just bad for her health, it's bad for yours. Rather than dealing with smoke, go to a friends house, or go find something that will constantly keep you occupied (i.e. painting, running, listening to music, doing extra credit homework).
I hoped I helped, even a little bit.

If you tell her that it hurts you, she will try harder to stop. When you say you feel sick around her, I'm assuming you mean that the smoke is making you sick. That is very serious! Have a talk with her, tell her that if she must smoke it would be nice if she could do it outside so you can't breathe it in. She should understand. All parents should put their children first. Also, opening windows and turning on fans when the room is smoky is a good way to get some fresh air.
If you need any more help, just go to my advice column and click "ask questions". It's in the middle. I'm also a second hand smoker, so I know what you're going through.
Good luck,

Dont worry you not alone i no how you feel. My brother stoped spoking for a while then started again. You should talk to your mom alone and tell her how you feel when she smokes. Tell her how sick she can get and you dont want to see her get that way. Make sure when you talk to her your alone.Good luck!

Why do you support her smoking? I mean, there's nothing you can really do about it because it's her decision, but you shouldn't support her hurting herself. Maybe you could suggest other things to do instead of smoking when she is stressed, like doing yoga or punching pillows or something. If you really don't care her smoking until summer (when she might not even quit because it's really hard) then you still have to do something. Not only is SHE getting worse from doing it all the time, but so are YOU. You could die even before she does from second-hand smoke. Tell her this somehow, because if she cares about you, she will take her smoking elsewhere. if you can't talk to her in person, try writing her a letter or printing stuff from the internet with stories and facts about second-hand smoke, and leave it where she can find them. If this doesn't work, then walk away from her when she pulls out a cigarette. Hope I helped!

Well, if you really dont mind her smoking, but you mind her smoking all the time..be like "I dont mind you smoking, but just dont smoke infront of me, all right?"..or something like that..and if you want to joke about it be like "Do you have a cigarette? I need a smoke"..then be like "if you can smoke, then so can I, you're my role model"..blah.blah blah. just throwing ideas out there.. just talk to her about it if anything.
