Confront him.If he gets mad at you then its too immature to be smoking in the first place(Not to mention the age).
Let him know you care and you dont want him to end up screwing himself over.Plus its horrible for his health!
Thats the best i got...
Good luck!

Tell him that he can tell your parents or you will. Offer to help him talk to your parents about this problem. It's important that he not start smoking this young. As common as it is, kids who start smoking this early often smoke for life. I'm sure you don't want to get him in trouble, but smoking can cause a life time of health problems. Encourage him to decide if he wants to be a smoker when he is the legal age, 18 in the US. Most people who wait this long to make that decision choose not to smoke or are less likely to become addicted.

twelve that is way to young i have a sister that is 12 and doesn't smoke. We think the best age to is at least 18 if you want. Just talk to him and explain to him the consequences. And tell him to think how much better his life would be with-out drugs. I really hope he'll understand and stop. Good luck!

If no human being else is going to take duty, then apparently like you've gotten to. locate some "wonder tactic" pictures of the consequences of smoking- you received't have any complications looking them. tell an human being that you've faith and who may have a very good impression on him. What concerns me is how a 12 yearold managed to get alcohol and cigarettes contained in the first position- honestly no good institution might want to probability their employer by promoting this stuff to someone who's rather of route a minor. locate out the position he's getting it from and attempt to get rid of that source- if he's getting them from an older relative or chum, make confident that he's not on my own with them in case you may avert it, and in case you witness them offering your brother, tell them that in case you observe it again, or locate him with this stuff again, you'll turn them in for offering a minor.

First thing I would do is to have a man to man talk with your brother and let him know that you know what is going on with him smoking, try to talk some sense into him but don't threaten him with telling your parents. Then if he still is not willing to listen I would let your parents know what is going on unless they are not willing to listen to you. Then in this case I would give the information to another trusted adult.

Since you don't want to tell your parents, which I think you should. Gather up alot of brochures on smoking and cancer and leave them where he can find them( on his bed, in his dresser or in his regular jacket pocket) so he will know that you know about the smoking. If that doesn't help, take him on a little field trip to the hospital where he can actually see cancer patients. Good Luck...

be a big brother and talk to him about the dangers of smoking. take him to a hospital with a cancer center and show him the patients there dying of lung cancer. bring up photos on the internet that show what smoking does to the body. and why couldn't you tell your parents? i would.

Tell your parents because it starts with just a cigarette,but then it could lead to other things if it hasnt already. Do him a favor and save him alot of trouble be a real sister and talk to your parents tell them not to tell you saw him.the problem nowadays people dont realize it started with just a cigarette,AND EVEN IF IT DONT GO ANY FURTHER HELLO CANCER.

well tell him that you saw him and talk him out and get a big pack of cigarretes and make him smoke all of them and then take him to your house and let him take a shower then let him stay with you then ask him if he is going to keep smoking.

Maybe you could have someone dressed up in a police uniform or get a real police officer to talk to him. Tell this person to kind of scare him.
