How can I get my parents to stop smoking? -
I-m 15 years old, my brothers are 17 and 26. My 26 year old brother has 2 kids, but he rarely lets us babysit because my parents smoke in the house. I can-t stand the stench of cigarette smoke. I-ve tried talking to them about it, explaining how it makes my breathing hard and how that-s the reason why I always stay in the back room playing my Xbox all day. Every time I take a car trip with them, I always end up smelling like cigarettes (which my friend pointed out to me one day).
I-ve asked them to at least smoke outside if they won-t quit smoking, and they do for about a week. I don-t know what-s worse, the fact that my entire house smells like an ashtray, or the fact that I can-t notice it because I-m so used to it. It-s like they don-t understand the harm they-re causing my brother and me. What can I do?What do they say when you talk to them about it? They should realize that everytime they light a cigarette they-re ruining their lungs even more. Maybe ask them why they started smoking in the first place, and see if you can resolve it that way. Talk about it with a school councilor or something maybe. Im no pro, but hope this helps!Get your parents to buy an electronic cigarette. There is no smoke, tar, or tobacco. There are many vendors who sell different brands. Tell them about this website.

Have them look around. Tell them that it-s a better way of smoking. They still get their nicotine but, with out the tar, ash, tobacco, and smoke.How can I get my parents to stop smoking? -

Advice for quitting smoking? -
OK so my aunt has been encouraging me to stop smoking. After a bout of sickness (a bad cold) I discovered I think I-m ready to quit. I have my last pack of cigarettes between my boyfriend and I. We-re both quitting, and I don-t know if I can make it. I don-t want to use the patch (Expensive and 3 in my family tried it and it didn-t work)...I can-t get a prescription for those anit-smoking pills or whatever they are.
Does anyone have any good choices besides smoking that will keep me from eating?
My aunt suggest cough drops (seeing as I-m still a bit sick) or mints.
If you need any info I-m 21 and have been smoking a little over 5-6 years. I started young and want to quit young. I hate that smokers cough everyone has and it-s so disgusting. Plus with smokes going up every other day I can-t keep paying that. When I started they were around $2.50 a pack.
Any tips and advice would be appreciated. Also please don-t give me the -Oh its healthy to quit blah blah blah- to be honest I can-t afford it anymore and just can-t stand the taste. Its not really health reasons other than the coughing my parents both have from it.
Please no smoking bashers because I work with many that smoke and its going to be hard. I just need tips to keep myself from smoking and re-starting.I quit 3 years ago (in college at the time) by telling my roommate to punch me in the face anytime he caught me with a cigarette. Kind of painful, but it worked.
