... I just don't think he knows what he is doing with his life. He loves smoking menthals, while I keep telling him those things are bad for him and that he should smoke Rome Y Julietas like his old man, hell even Marlboro Reds would make me feel better.
How should I confront him about his smoking habits?

Switch on TV around the time they show carcinogenic stuff caused by smoking. Start there. Tell him enjoying life is good, wine-tasting, and being a gourmand, but anything habit forming is not! Talk adult to adult.

well, first no one should smoke. It is not only harmful to you, but did you know that second hand smoke is just as harmful to someone else recieving sencond hand smoke as to the person smoking?! Tell him what you feel... and maybe you and him could try to quite together so that you set a positive influence on him. They have patches and pills that really help to quite. Don't make him switch to a different kind of smoke, they are all bad and harmful to everyone else and then he will think smoking is ok. Try for both of you to quit and if you don't want to quite, then tell him what you really feel straight up!
ALSO... KISSING SOMEONE WHO SMOKES IS LIKE KISSING AN ASHTRAY!

Rome Y, Marlboro Reds, Camels, Menthols, they are all as bad as each other! You shouldn't want him to smoke ANY ciggs if you are really concerned. Contrary to what you may think, menthols are just as bad as marlboros or whatever. But since you are his mother, you should make him feel really guilty about smoking, and maybe even cry when you talk to him about it. THat's how I got my boyfriend to quit. Hope this helps.

First of all, if your son is under 18, he should not be smoking, but somehow now a days, this is unavoidable due to the huge amounts of smokers. If he is older, then just leave him be. I find that smoking a cigarrette, is smoking no matter what brand. It does not matter, they are still ingesting smoke into their lungs, and they eventually get lung cancer, or emphazima.
My advice is just to let him go.

tell him. you dont like him smoking cause its bad for him.. and then show him pictures of his lungs when he smokes Menthals and then try to find Pictures of what his lungs would like smoking rome Y Julietas. and if he chooses to smoke.. Then youll feel better if he smokes the kind that conforts you. its not like your telling him to quit and he may just consider it.

you can't stop him from smoking if he doesn't want to stop but you can buy him one of those nicotine patches and just maybe he will try it on his own
