Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Since he is 18, he`s legal. It`s his body and if he wants to tell your parents then let him. ♥

I have an uncle that used to smoke. My sisters and I love him so much, but his breath would smell nasty all the time... and then there's the possiblity of cancer, right?
Did you try to convince him to stop? If you did, but he refused to, he's probably already hooked on it which is life-threatening. If you really want to know how many times he smokes everyday, hide an attachable smoke detector somewhere.
When your brother's out somewhere, search his room for hidden cigarettes. If you find a pack of cigarettes, throw them out and replace them with a note, pleading for him to stop. He'll probably get annoyed, but it worked for my uncle. You have to get it through his head that it's bad for him. Don't tell your parents just yet. Give him a chance to be able to stop and then if he keeps continuing, then you have to tell someone trustful.
There might be a reason he's smoking. Most likely out of depression. Ask his closest friends about his social life or something. Try to be supportive if you find a problem that triggered the start of your brother smoking.
Hope I've helped

I dont think hes telling the truth either. and even if he is telling the truth, it will still affect his body a lot. you SHOULD tell your parents or note them about it, because this is about saving your brother :] You should just tell your parents first to not tell your brother that you were the person who told your parents (if youre afraid that he might like get all angry) but its for his health and i think you should tell your parents! Hope it helped :]
