AHH Please help me anyone!! My dad just started smoking and I'm sorry but I hate smoking and cigarettes and lighters and the smell I just hate every single part of it, plus I didn't want my dad to start smoking...so when he came home, I snuck into his car, and there is this little compartment where he puts his cigarettes and lighter, so I put this note to him that shows him all the bad points of smoking, and how it can effect you..and then I stole his lighter and it's hidden in my sock drawer!! But I am sooooo SCARED because he gets really mean sometimes (but he never abuses me or anything.) so I'm really scared for what he is going to do!! Was this a good idea?! I think he smokes every night outside from like 8:30 to 9:00 ( he doesnt think I know.) Please someone tell me if this was a good idea, or what I should do ?! PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!
P.S.- is it ok to keep a lighter in a sock drawer? Or will like my dresser blow up?!

You want whats in his best interest, and you are right there are SO many bad things about smoking. I'm sure if he gets angry, try explaining how much you care about him, and what the risks are, and tell him everyone thinks it'll never happen to them.. that they will get lung cancer, or something, but it can happen to anyone. let him know you know he smokes too, because its causing you stress. Its okay to keep a lighter in a sock drawer too, it wont blow up.

And secondly i think what your doing is seriously the right thing, i dont know how addicted your dad is to smoking. But hopefully he will understand that you are just trying to help him. So thats good. if he gets mad just simply say i'm only caring for you, and that you dont want to see him w/ lung cancer or anything like that. Cause you love him. I think he'll appreciate it :] Good Luck. [ BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx's advice column | Ask BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx A Question ]
