you can't convince people to do things they don't wanna do. I smoke cigs. I will not stop no matter what health effects ppl yell at me. I wouldn't expect it from your parents either. All I can say to do is either gtfo of your house or wear a respirator/get a air cleanser thing.

My parents used to smoke...

with my father... when i was a lil' kid... he used to tell me he was really strong and bla bla bla.. and i asked him: but you aren't strong enough to stop smoking?

he have been 7 years smoking... at least that's what i think.

With my mom... my sisters and I just bought her a electronic cigarette like a month ago.

ehhh i have done worse in my life. Not rly addicted to the nicotine seeing how if i have a e cig im fine. (With no tar or nicotine) Just the physicality of it. It helps my attitude and mindset in a lot of ways. Could just be one of those actions. Like cracking knuckles or something. Except in this case it causes cancer. :P

This!!!

Us smokers we know the health risks... no matter how many times you tell its not going to make a difference so get off you high horse and move on, The more people bitch at us for smoking the more we want to smoke. Its a habit like every other the difference here is this habit has lots of side effects but none the less still a habit

Yeah I agree. It is messed up that your parents do refuse to give a little, say smoking outside or not in the cars. Second hand smoke is a danger that I myself will not expose my children to. I would just explain to them that you dislike it and see if they can just not smoke around you as much. The next best thing for you to do is stay healthy with such things as cardio and your body can fight the damage that is in-sued.

They should do it for you. After all, they 'love' you, don't they? By smoking at the same place they're also infecting you with their noxious shitty smoke.

Better ditch your plans of making them stop smoking, son.
It's not as easy as most people believe and not everyone WANTS to do it.

My mom is a vivid drinker. It's totally wrong for her to drink. She hides her alcohol all over the house.. I mean, here I'll go into her stash in my bathroom and replay back with what I find..

Well she must've cleared it out but she is not good at hiding the stuff. I confronted her last night, pretended I was crying, closed the door and watched Spongebob...

Anyways, what I did find was, a big old bottle of vodka that was empty, another little bottle of vodka that was empty, 3 empty beer cans, all shoved under my bathroom sink.. So I was more curious and went and looked in the closet of the bathroom, 4 un-open cans of beer (The tall ones), and two open cans.. All of them also shoved behind something (This time it was towls).. Before all this, she used to hid it in the back of my clothes hamper..

What I'm trying to get at is that it is extremely hard to stop your parents from a habit. I remember she got a DUI when I was little and covered it up so I didn't know until I read something about court and driving under the influence that was sitting on the counter.. I was about 10 then. When I heard this news, I started looking for where she hid it. Sure enough, it was in my room.. A mother hiding beer in a 10 year old boys room... I was disappointed.

The reason she is hiding it is because my step dad is trying to get her to stop, but she wont. We are thinking of doing a intervention with her and the whole family to seek further help.

Parental habits are horrible. I feel your pain.

Follow my footsteps.
Run away.
Go to somewhere safe.
Make a new life.
Heck, what can happen to you.
