You can't. Smoking is an addiction. Like any addition the addict has to decide themselves that it is time to stop.  It is your choice on your reaction.\n\nThere are actions you can take, but they will put your in conflict or endanger your marraige. If you do not want him smoking around your kids tell him to stop smoking in the house. If he refuses, throw his cigerettes away where ever you find them. Another option is to simply move yourself and your children from the house. These may seem like extreme reations but you have to make him realize you are prepared to make him choose between his family and his addiction.

Be honest with her. Tell her that you don't believe drugs and smoking are the answer. Tell her you are concerned for her, and make it clear that you are ON HER SIDE.

It is true that cigarette smoking is the #1 cause of chronic bronchitis. Even though she doesn't smoke now, did she used to? If not, then the next most common causes are repeated repiratory infections as a child and atmospheric pollutants(such as sulfur and nitrogen). It is characterized by excessive mucus production,chronic inflammation and swelling of the small airways, and bronchospasm(to name a few).There is no cure, but there are maintenance drugs and therapies, as well as lifestyle changes to help alleviate some of the symptoms. It is best for her to stay away from cigarette smoke and other inhaled irritants. She should also avoid contact with people who have an existing respiratory infection(especially influenza). Yearly influenza immunizations are strongly recommended, as well as a pneumococcal vaccine every five years. Her doctor may put her on a bronchodilator(such as albuterol, or ipratropium bromide)to induce bronchial smooth muscle relaxation, and/or a mucolytic(acetylcysteine)to enhance mobilization of secretions(mucus). If the mucus accumulation is bothersome or she is unable to produce an effective cough, bronchial hygiene would be helpful. Something easily done at home is chest percussion. Have her lay on her back, and with a cupped hand, pound(carefully but forcefully)all areas of her back. Then have her roll onto each side, raising her arm above her head and do the same thing. This will help loosen the mucus that is impacted in her airways so she can cough it up and will also help her breathe better. If she is not already she may need to be on oxygen, even at home. If you want to do something for her, help her get educated on the disease she has, it's process, and things she can do to manage it. Also make sure that she is following her doctor's orders! Hope this helps! Good luck and I wish her well!

Tell your mom you want to live with your dad, her b/f smokes, you have asthma plus you're breathing in 2nd hand smoke. She may not mind being exposed to this and putting herself at risk for lung cancer and dying from it but you care alot more about your health than that.

One thing it is illegal no matter if he smokes every once in a while or if he smokes it all the time. There is a reason that it is illegal it is not good for you. Even thoug he is 18 his parents still can make a impact on his life parents are usually role modles in kids lives. If his father is a pastor he will definetly show a concern and want to give his son help that he needs. If you are having these thoughts that  it is not okay then you need to go with your intuition and act on it.

She's going thru that stage in her life when she start's feeling diffrent about guys. Maybe she doesn't want to tell you because she doesn't feel comfortable talking about that with you maybe she does with her friends. When I was her age my mom wanted to know everything but I wanted some privacy.So try giving her some privacy.

First of all relax!! It just an elaborate dinner. I had the same problem with smokers since my wife has severe asthma. I simply make a designated smoking area outside and above all don't use ashtrays. I take and empty coffee can and put in the smoking area and chastise anybody who throws butts on the ground, regardless of who they are. And clean up is a snap, just put the plastic lid on it and throw away. I have been doing this for the last couple of years and my friends and family who smoke actually set up the smoking area for me. At one party when we had a heavy rain, I simply brought the deck umbrella to the from and attached the can to the pole. \n\nAbout your parents, ask them how would they feel if they were not invited and tell them in a calm voice that you have enough anxiety without the extra baggage/attitude. So relax, enjoy the day and the company and remember, if there are problems, attitudes and / or arguments, just smile and say out loud, "I never worry about the little things"!\n\nGood luck and have fun!

The doctor suggested that she stop smoking. (Many of the following answers are wrong - beware. I am aware that Yahoo Answers puts the question mark in.)

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!

as hard as it may be just tell her " your right" it is hard to be wrong all the time when to tell the other person that they are right. carry around breeze and spray after you smoke.  If your relationship with your father is important to you then being wrong with your mother wont be a big deal. telling her she is right takes the power away from her and puts it back to you,you know the difference and so does most people around you. your time is short with your father make the most of it.

What kinds of drugs bud? If shes just smoking pot, I wouldnt worry about it at all. Its harmless. If shes on crack or meth, yeah tell someone. It depends also, why is she doing drugs? Also, does she know what shes doing? Also, how old is she? These are all important questions, even if you think they sound irrelevant, they arent. Contact me if you need me to tell you about the effects of drugs and what to do about it. Without bragging, I'm a walking drug encyclopedia, and I will tell you the truth about whatever you ask.\n\nPeace
