Smoking+Heartattack!
My Dad had a heart attack.
The doctor said that he needs to quite smoking and everything. He did while in the hostpital and maybe lasted a week but Its obvious he's doing it again. He'll go to the bathroom for 20-30 minetes to a time claiming he had a dump, put the vent on, spray the whole room down and often spray my Moms perfume. He never turns the vent on unless he and his sister go to get high. Then for some odd reason he'll leave the house for 10 minetes * *going on a walk* * Ill offer to go with him and he'l be like NOOOO really quick. I've also been finding toothpicks he used for his pipe, and butts around the porch. And an a tray by his seat, Ill move it and leave for an hour come back and its right where it was. Ive comfronted him, saying it obviuos.. and he completely denies it. I kinda threw it in his face.. and he denied it more!
I know he is.. how do I approach this.
If i tell my Mom she'll kill him..

Well, the harsh reality of it is, there is nothing you can do to make him stop.
No matter what you say, what you do, how hard you cry, how pissed you get, he will not stop smoking.
He has to WANT to stop. Not for you. Not for your mom. For himself.
I certainly wouldn't tell your mom. Why be the cause of a huge argument between them? You don't want that. You don't want to be the one in the middle. Assure him you don't intend to tell her.
Just keep reminding him that you care and you wish he would want to quit smoking for his own benefit, and hope for the best.
Don't accuse him, don't attack him about it. Just say "Dad I wouldn't notice the butts by the porch if I didn't care about you enough to pay attention to detail."
I'm sorry that probably isn't what you want to hear, but all I can tell you is what is true.

Tell your dad about second hand smoke. There is nothing mopre heartbreaking than listening to your kid tell you how they dont want you to get hurt.
Tell him how bad smoking is for him and everyone around him. Annoy him with facts. BEG him to quit. Throw in a few tears. If he sees how much his children care, he'll try to quit.

Tell your mom. It's better to have your mom scream at him, than having him die of a heart attack. Maybe your mom can help him. You should tell him that if he doesn't quit, you are going to tell your mom. Maybe that'll scare him. But if you notice he keeps doing it, tell your mom.
Hoped I Helped & Good Luck!
