I'd just stay out of it sweetie. It's his/her life. If they want to smoke, leave them. There really isn't too much you can do about it.

I suggest you do stay out of it. If the person comes to talk to you about it, then give your opinion to the person. Like, how smoking is awful and people die from it.Hope I helped!

stay out of it! this person obviously has nothing to do with you, and as long as your brother doesn't start smoking, then there's nothing that you can do!

Well,
it all depends on how old he/she is. If he/she is under 18, you should take action by either talking to your brother about it or telling that person in person. You can also tell your parents and they can help out someway, maybe by talking to that person. You shouldn't let this overcome you. You need to do something about it. My aunt (she;s not my real aunt but I call her aunt Paula) DIED of lung cancer and I'm trying to convice people to STOP smoking and it makes me mad everytime my mom buys some cigarettes because my aunt was an innocent 40 year old woman and her life ended horribly and you DON'T want the feeling I had when I found out she was dead. You need to prevent this person from smoking however you can. Buy this person a patch or the smoking gum that helps you quit as well. If you want to talk about something off topic or need more advice you can ask me a question in my advicenators inbox OR you can email me seperately at kitty_kats123@yahoo.com O.K?
Best of luck!
Hope I helped!

Stay out of it. Why? "My brother's friend", that's why - they are not you, they are not a relative of yours, they are not your friend. Even if it were your friend, you shouldn't try to tell them not to.

I had a friend (B) who's younger brother (C) was getting mad at another friend (F) of mine for smoking. So F just made sure C couldn't see when he did. And when C found out, he got pissed, and we all just told him off (in a friendly way, not in-your-face or anything) saying that it's not his place to do anything about it - it's F's choice.

Strong people will be themselves irregardless of others. Weak people will allow others to control them.

Just tell them that you don't want to have to breathe or smell it. Tell them while your brother is there.

Depends on how old is she. It's a personal choice,r eally. You could try talking to him about it but if someone wants to smoke, they will. Goodluck.

HyperactiveMiss answered Monday June 27 2005, 4:57 pm:
Well, what else can you do except "stay out of it"? First of all, it might have helped if you told us the smoker's age. It'd be very different if he was 12 or 21. That's why you should always be specific when you're asking a question.

If he's over the legal age, you should just let it be. Lots of people smoke, even if we don't want them to. You could try and bring him to his senses about why smoking is bad, but don't be bummed if he doesn't listen. It sucks, I know, but there's not much else we can do if they don't want to listen.

If it's UNDER the legal age, by all means, DO something about it! Take action! Not only is it killing them, but it's going to get him/her into lots of trouble. Starting young never leads up to anything good in the end. You could knock some sense into the smoker, but if that fails, tell an adult or someone that can help. You may think you're just one person, but one person can make a whole difference.
