I think you should tell your dad because,smoking is bad for you and it will hurt your life and from smoking you can get a diseas. I say you should and tell him that it was an honest mistake.

oh mannn... tricky. You probably shouldn't tell him about the pot... tell him about the ciggs and he will tell you to quit- that's a good thing to quit. <3

He's testing you to see if you will tell the truth. You can't keep hiding it. Tell tale signs will soon show.. and the smell obviously already has!
Most people will say not to tell him.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?

Wrong.

He is your DAD. and if you are under age, he's being a good parent and looking out for your health and the others around you.

Only yesterday I saw a mother giving her 12 year old child cigarettes so they could smoke together. The feedback they were getting from people around them was what you would expect. (bad)
No fit mother would give their barely teenage daughter something which would damage them.

Once you're over the age limit, it's up to you. You know the risks and it's your body.

I'm assuming you're young and your father is giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Basically, you can get help and stop if you're addicted.
Or come clean before it could ruin your relationship.

Your father already knows you are lying, in asking you he's giving you the chance to "come clean". Confess that you're smoking to him, listen to the lecture that is sure to follow. Then sit down and really talk to him. Don't throw away your relationship with your father, it's a hard road back, and some people never make it back. Be honest with him and yourself.

He knows. It would be the mature thing to confess. You made the choice to smoke knowing that he wouldn't approve, so you need to be ready to deal with any and all of the consequences. Trust me though, you will be better off if you tell him than if you don't and he finds out for sure, which he will. He'll be looking for it now.

I am also going to make an attempt in convincing you that you need to quit smoking. Most teens that begin smoking say that they will quit sometime, but for the majority, that time never comes. I am very against smoking, now more than ever before. I have a very sad and true story that I want to share with you about my uncle. I grew up knowing that he smoked and it bothered me a little, but I never really understood the possible consequences. To make a long story short, at the age of 50 he had a heart attack. It wasn't the heart attack that killed him though. Because he was a smoker, once he passed out from the heart attack he stopped breathing. He was rushed to the hospital, but in the 20 minutes it took him to get there, his brain hadn't gotten enough oxygen and had died. He lived, but as it is commonly referred to, he became not much more than a vegetable. You see that stuff on TV all the time and you think that the actual possibility of it is small, but when it happens to someone that you care about so much that is so close to you it hurts like nothing else ever could. You don't want to do that to your family. I think about my uncle every day and wish that I had put more of an effort into getting him to stop smoking. It could have saved his life. The high that you get from smoking does nothing for you in your life. It feels good at the time, but if you want to feel good just go masturbate or something. There are many more healthier things you can do. Smoking is pointless and stupid. If it's a friend thing, maybe its time for someone to be the mature one and say you know what, this sucks. You need to do the right thing not only for yourself, but for them, your family, and your future family. Please get whatever help that you can to quit. You don't want your family to have to decide whether or not to pull the plugs and let you die or keep you alive when all you can do is blink.

wow, you can't die from pot so don't listen to the girl under me about that. haha
but anyways, if your dad is really strict, then i deffinatly wouldn't tell him. but if you guys are like, best friend/friend status then if you're really comfurtable with telling him, then tell him. if it's really bothering you that he doesn't know, then tell him if it will make you feel better. most parents would shit their pants if their kid told them they smoked cigarettes and pot. but like i said, if you two are close and you tell him alot, and you're completely comfurtable with telling him, then tell him. i smoke cigarettes, but i would never EVER tell my mom, because i know how she would react to it. you know your dad better then we do, so you kindof have to be the judge on this. good luck. :]

You'd probably get in trouble, but if it realases stress then you should tell him. You might want to stop smoking pot...you know, you could um, DIE.Yeah, maybe just tell him about the cigs first, to see how he handles it, if he handles it ok, that doesnt mean to continue smoking pot and other crap. Good luck, Happy Holidays :)
