I smoked for 7 years everyone tried to get me to stop but i loved it only because it helped my depression and made me not think so much but as years went on i did nothing and let things go it has messed up everything i ever wanted to be cause it made me lazy and sleep all the time.you should get more involved with him go hang out and eat with him let him know you care and show him pictures of what it can do to your lungs.If that does not work then put your foot down tell him he will stop and you will know cause you can buy home drug test at wal-mart or drug stores.You must not give up or he will get up hie future and could end up in jail or as well as the cops coming to your home for a search if some neighbor calls.There is hope just try hard.It takes time to get over the withdraw but he can do it!

If the person your moving in with is smart, then the cops will never show up.  just take some safety precautions, like have a designated smoking room, keep all gear in one place not strewn about for the cops to find. as for the smell, use a paper towel or toilet paper tube and stuff a bunch of dryer sheets in it, now exhale through this and it should cut down the smell significantly. of course if you don't want to go to all this trouble, then i would suggest finding a roomie that dosen't smoke

You stop drinking at work.\n\nI would have fired them on the spot.  And if anyone called asking about employment history I would have told them they had been fired and why.  Drinking/drugging employees are bad news for employers and it is very important to get the hell rid of these problem people as fast as possible.  They ALWAYS do something that causes a catastrophe and costs a ton of money.  They reflect extremely poorly on a managers career and/or put a business owners life savings at risk of going up in a puff of smoke.

Carefully check out your local laws; check your health department to see if they have any advice. Where I live, in the U.S. in a rather conservative state, you can 1) file a lawsuit against the building since they are providing you heat or a/c contaminated by a carcinogenic substance; 2) sue your neighbors for creating a nuisance. Where I live yes, you are free to smoke yourself to death, but you have to contain your cigarette smoke to your unit or outside. \n\nPeople here are also signing petitions to prohibit smoking at all in their apartment buildings/condos. A fascist approach, yes, but they apparently feel it necessary to keep people's carcinogens outside of their own living spaces.

Yes, since it is there home, they have every right to smoke, rather then the customer calling and complaining about you, maybe you should just ask for another job if they are smokers, let someone else take that job and you can take another one! Other than that i dont think its right that people pay for your services in there home and are told they cant smoke!!

The owner OWNS the business. Is he going to fire himself because he doesn't want himself working for himself anymore. Most pot head owners I've worked for will smoke you up on break. Who would get the results? He'd take the test and they hand him the results. 'You have drugs in your system, sir.' 'Really!? I had no idea. I'm a freakin drug addict. Damn me, damn me to heck.'

Where do you work?\n\nMany companies offer their employees Employee Assistance Programs. These are entirely confidential, and your employer will not know about it. Most companies know that drug addiction is a societal problem, and accept the fact that some of their employees are going to have that problem. This is why good companies have these EAPs for the benefit of their employeers.\n\nSomeone has already mentioned Narcotics Anonymous. That is a good resource. \n\nCall you county mental health department, or visit its web site.

buy them soap and tell them they stink...honesty it is always the best policy\nOr you can quit your job.

Just tell her the truth and if she begins to go off, just leave.  You don't have to worry about seeing her anymore if you quit so who cares what she thinks.  Or you can stand your ground and when she begins to go off just say, "Look!  This is exactly why I am quitting.  I deserve to be treated with respect and any manager that runs a respectable business would know that it is inappropriate to humiliate an employee in front of other coworkers.  As for you constantly accusing me of theft without any proof...some people would consider this harassment and grounds for your dismissal."  That should shut her up.  Good luck.  I've had one too many bosses the same way.

you need to take initiaticve and do it yourself.  Then present to your level of co-workers, let them have aome input.  Then present to the higer-ups.  or you can ask the higer-up to giv eyou a crack at it (which they would perfer, i'm sure, but since they are unorganized....)\nDo they have a board of diorector?  These are the folks who ususally are responsible for such an act.

Don't smoke number one. \n\nIf you don't really have a voice, as they say "don't quit your day job".\n( I have no voice either. )  but now and then  I sign in Karaoke. lol..

Deal with them professionally when working on projects, but do not talk to them outside work or chitchat.  Also, sometimes talking to other co-workers you trust about them helps relieve the stress, especially if they had similar experiences.  If it gets real bad that it affects work, you may want to contact your supervisor.

Tell him your opinion.  Get it out.  Then leave him to make his own decisions.  Plenty of people smoke that stuff and even more do not.  We can live together in harmony.  If you don't want anything to do with him because he smokes then stay away.  A true friend will express their thoughts, but they will never try to control you.  Be a good friend.

Keep him busy. Create an environment that does not allow smoking. Every day he should wash the dishes, vacuum the house, dust, clean the toilet, do the laundry, wash all the cars, etc. \nMake him physically understand that his behavior is unacceptable. You run the show. You are the parent...show him who is boss.

No one can give a straight answer. Everything is "Dont do drugs, etc." A*sholes...\n\nDepends on what drugs youre doing. Crank, coke, its out of your system within three days - but if they take a hair sample, youre f*&ked. That stays for five YEARS.\nIf its pot, go to your local head shop. They sell products that you can drink that mask pot in urine, and they are pretty effective. Even offer a money back guarantee - which isnt much consolation when youre failed a test and lost a job, but hey - you get twice your money back. Stop smoking at least three days prior to the test if using these products....\n\nOf course, the way I proteccted myself was by getting a prescription...once you have it, when you take a test, the doc will call you and ask if you have an Rx. If you do, you fax him a copy, and the ONLY thing he can tell your employer is whther or not you passed or failed - and with an Rx, its a PASS! \n\nGood luck bro. Ignore the other morons here telling you to stop, etc. Live life like you want to. As long as youre not hurting anyone else, f&*k 'em.

Just tell them what can happen if they don't stop smoking. Do they have little children in the house? It could also cause problems for the children down the road. But if the person don't want to quit then you have done your job. Where do you practice? I am looking for a new Dr. Gl on getting that person to listen.
