go to him and say 'Dad I smoke, I want you to know because I don't want to hide it from you. I don't smoke because of you, I do it because I like it or it is just a phase. Whatever the case, I don't want to lie to you because I love and respect you.'

not as far as I know...it's not illegal to smoke inside your home.\n\nIf you had my vote, I would say YES...but I don't make the laws, so I think you're stuck with the 2nd hand smoke.  \n\nIf you want to try something, try convincing your dad to smoke outside, or at least near an open window.

well, it really sucks to go through this for you.\n\nRemember that your parents are human and that they love you.  The amount of stress they are going through is tremendous and it will take some time to adapt for them and you.  \n\nMy teenaged daughter has done very well with the whole thing, but we made sure she knows that we love her.  \n\nThe smoking thing is very tough, it's a habbit that your mom uses for stress relief, she probably didn't even know she did it till it was too late.  don't nag her about it cuz she don't need to be nagged, but just tell her that you don't want her to die from it and give her some time.\n\nkeep in mind that it all gets better with time!

The wish to stop smoking has to come from inside. Nothing you do will make your mom stop if she doesn't really WANT to.\nYou can, however, keep telling her how much you love her, how you want her to be with you for many years to come. Never fight, never confront her: just let her know.\nI was a very heavy smoker (three packs of cigarettes a day), and I quit 14 years ago after various unsuccessful attempts. What worked for me was the nicotine patch.\nI do believe that, when you are a smoker, your body becomes addicted to a certain amount of nicotine in the blood. The patch took care of that addiction, and then I only had to fight the sensation of not having something in my hand or my mouth. That is easier to fight than the physical addiction to the drug, because that is what it is.\nIt was not as excruciating as I thought it would be, and I have gone through very stressful situations in these years without resorting to a cigarette for comfort.\nI am so proud of my achievement that I dare put myself as an example in this matter.\nThere are many new products she could try: patches, chewing gum, ask around. Quitting cold turkey is extremely hard. I know I couldn't have done it.\nShow her my answer. Let her know those things do help. They do.\nI hope you will all succeed. The smells, the flavors, the deep breaths you can take without coughing, the stairs you can climb without suffocating, it's all worth it.

You knew what you were getting into when you got into it.  You can't expect him to change and it will eventually make him lazy and brain dead.  The only leg you have to stand on is asking him to respect your wishes by not smoking in your presence, but that is a fat chance because he is doing what he always did now the difference is its in your face because you live there too.

Tell him that.  I have to warn you though that no matter what you say you will most likely not be able to get him to quit smoking.  It is a very hard habit to break and I think the tobbacco companies are making cigarrettes even more addictive than they need be.  Until he decides that he wants to quit and seeks help to do that, there is very little that you can do.\n\nYou might tell him that an internet friend of yours is now forever broken hearted and alone because her husband would not even make a serious effort to quit smoking.  He died 4 months ago of lung cancer.  Tell your father in law that it was an ugly, painful, lingering and finally humiliating disease and a horrible way to die. it is a terrible thing to put your loved ones through and they will suffer forever when the smoking finally kills him..... and make no mistake, it will kill him. \n\n For his sake and his family's sake tell him, I personally beg him to try and stop befor it is too late.  My husband had no symptoms and he was already 4 stage when he was diagnosed  they gave him 5 years to live. He did chemo and radiation and everthing and still he died in 9 months.  Your father in law might have less time than he thinks

Seriously, go suck him off, if you like it, you're gay, if he likes it, he's gay, if you both like it, you're both gay.Or you could go ask your daddy how long he's been packing fudge.......

I'm not a smoker nor do i like cigarette smoke:\n\nhow close do you live to this person? You make it sound like he/she is walking up to your windows and blowing it in. There is nothing you can do about it. It is still their legal right to smoke in their house or on their property. Unless you are window to window with this person i think you are being a bit ridiculous. That person has every right to live there. I dont think there is a problem to address to your neighbor. You just seem like one of those unbearable neighbors that nothing makes them happy.\n\nSecond hand smoke is just as bad as doing it yourself but once again unless you are window to window or he is blowing it in your windows i think your kids will be just fine. I mean do you expose your kids to other things in life that arent so healthy? Sugar,mcdonalds,tv??????

As long as it doesn't intefere with his life or his ability to be a cool brother, you don't have to do anything.  When he stops being cool, telling your parents or some authoritative figure may be a good start.  You can try talking to him that he's wasting his life on pot and if he cares even a bit for you he would stop.

Nonsmokers have some serious issues with "control" when they start talking about not smoking outside. Just walk around the smoker huddled next to the ash can, it's really not that difficult. If he's not huddled next to the ash can do that silly fake cough thing, that will show him. Sigh.

I don't think making him smoke a whole pack will help. My mom best friend did that to her daughter and now her daughter is a heavy smoker. \nI think taking away his luxuries for a certain amount of time or until he gets his act together is the best thing to do.

He surely need to quit...as smoking is not only bad for both of you, but it is bad for your children, the example on how a father should behave & many other issue, plus smoking is actually kind of selfish act and costly too!\n\nbut i do really happy you said "We want to have him quit smoking before we get married" i really wish you two will have happy life in future that not included smoking as part of it...so may he sucuess!

Tell them how you feel about their smoking however pushing them to stop cold turkey is not the answer. Tell them what happens to smokers and go from there , besides is it really worth the relationship that you have with them?

Buy him some sugar free gum and then tell him if he doesn't quit, then he cannot kiss you because his mouth is disgusting when he is chewing tobacco. Good luck!!\n\nChow!!
