I used to smoke and my mom found out when I was sixteen so I have been through this. You need to set him down and tell him straight up how long how much and that you are to deep in to quit. If he smokes then he should understand the nicotine addiction. Tell him why you started and try to be completely honest with him. If you have a job offer to pay for your own cigs if you don't then don't bring up the money issue but do admit that you have taken some from him.

My suggestion to you is to stop smoking now, Please!! Let me tell you that I have a friend that just had a double by-pass surgery, he smoked 1 pack a cigarettes a day and now he is on a ventilator because his lungs are so damaged from smoking for many years. You are 15 yrs. old, quit while you are ahead before the damage to your lungs is irreversible, you think it can't happen but it can. Tell your dad about smoking and ask him for help to stop, it's the best thing that you can do for yourself.

Helloooo, your 15 and your smoking. it's sounds like your dad already knows you smoke so you don't have to worry about telling him but you can go to him and ask for some help to not smoke i think that will make him proud!!

Your dad is not stupid, he was a teenager once and I'm sure he knows that you smoke. I think he thinks he can't say anything to you because he's waiting for you to come clean and talk to him about it...he figures you're old enough to make your own decisions and face the consequences.
If you feel you need to tell daddy about your dirty little secret, then go ahead...but he already knows.

Just tell him that you began to smoke, try to explain him the reasons of why you came to that solution.. he will be angry at first, but then he will appreciate you for the only reason that you tell him the truth.. be brave!! Good luck.. :)

Tell him you smoke and you want the both of you to quit together.

Just don't do it the way I did, I got a ticket before I told my parents. By honest with them things always go better when your just strate up with them. Coming to him shows that you're mature.

Stop worrying. He can probably smell it on your clother, your hair and your breath. If you want to smell like a walking ash tray and damage your health that is your buiness.

dont tell him, you stop smoking dont take the part he took smoking kills, it probably breaks his heart to know your smoking like him, break away and live
