Someone I care about?

Question

I have a bit of a dilemma. My cousin who is 17 (I'm 22), is like a sister to me, were really good friends. The other day me and her were at her sister's house, she came out of the bathroom; I went by the bathroom and could smell the cigarette smoke roll out. Most of the people I know smoke, including all but two of my older cousins, I have never tried it and never will, theirs a surgeon general warning on the label for a reason. So what do I do, do I tell her mother, her sister, my mom, do I ignore it all together, do I confront her about it. I'm sorta shocked but not really surprised she started smoking, her parents especially her dad, is really hard on her, I also think she has low self-esteem. Her sister smokes, and several of her friends, she's told me on several occasions in the past that she would never smoke. I love her so much; I'm really worried about her, she's been very distant and never calls or comes over. I always thought I knew her better than this. : - (

Answer 1

Answer 2

well why dont u sit her down and have a intervention, ask some question and let her know u care about her and u wanna know wats up ,( stay calm and confident) but dont be a NARK , tell her there are better things to deal with stress or wat ever she is going through than smoking . If yall are as tight as u say u are she should come clean and u can work this out. well gtg hope this helped

Answer 3

if you need to tell them some people need to smoke outside and not in the house and it makes people have a hard time with it

Answer 4

She is 17 years old , so I would talk to her not
tell on her . Let her know what you think and
see where to go from there .
