You can tell that he cares about you because he didn't want you getting mad at him and the fact that he told his friend he's been off them for a while means he is actually trying to get clean.
Your best bet is to talk to him and tell him you disapprove of him lying to you but you'll support him in his efforts to stop smoking. Then do just that. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
contradictionn answered Sunday September 10 2006, 1:30 am: is he smoking weed
or cigarettes?
There is no need to break up with the kid for a simple addiction.
Weed is only addicting mentaly, & if he isn't a regular smoker than he CAN quit anytime he wants.
if it's cigarettes, you need to help him through quitting, because it's a verrry hard thing to do.
Dumping him in either case will probably make him do either-or more, right? And if you do love him, you care if he does these things
Stay with him. [ contradictionn's advice column | Ask contradictionn A Question ]
