My dad used to smoke and I know he still does because he has about 1000 lighters and he always smells of smoke. I love him so much and want him to be around for a long time. He doesn't know that I know. He also is overweight and doesn't go to the doctor. What do I do? I can't stop worrying about him!!!

My dad smokes a lot and it came to the point that I told him to stop several times but it didn't work out. So every time he goes home from work I would get his cigarette box and hide it from him. But then he keeps finding way on how to hide the cigarette from me.
So probably you could talk to him first about his health and make him understand that you can also be affected by second hand smoking. Or you can also ask your mom to talk to him about that issue. Maybe you can suggest him to smoke tobacco because it is a lot healthier than a normal cigarette. Or maybe you can also hide his lighters or cigarette box like I do :))
If you want, you can personally consult a doctor and ask him what are other ways to to prevent your dad from smoking.
