Answer 1

quit smoking

Answer 2

first how old are you? I started smoking over 20 years ago and to this day I regret it I wish I had never started. Back then you could purchase cig if you were 6 you didn't have to be 18 Your parents are concerned for your health and they have a right to be. Your mother brought you into this world healthy and she does not want to see you get cancer or several other things associated with smoking. If you just started smoking you are not addicted yet so stop now. You can't keep them from finding out if they don't smoke they will smell the smoke on you. Do you want to smell like an ashtray. I am not trying to be mean because as I said I have smoked for many years. Please for your own sake stop now before it is too late and it is really hard for you to stop smoking. If you don't believe me visit some web sites on smoking. And you will smell like an ash tray all your cloths will smell and if you spend money on perfume you don't need to because you are not going to smell good as long as you smoke.

Answer 3

quit cold turkey. I'm sure your parents won't kick you out, they're probably just using it as a scare tactic, that obviously just pushed you in the other direction.

some things to think about though...

are you still a minor??? under 18?? if so, and you live in the u.s., your parents cannot kick you out of the house; it's against the law. (sorry ,but I'm a u.s. resident and don't know what the law is for minors regarding this issue in other countries)
if you are still a minor...do you have a job? smoking can be a very expensive habit, how do you intend to pay for your habit???
outright, smoking cigarettes is gross!!! I'm sure you know all the health issues it poses. STOP WHILE YOU'RE STILL YOUNG AND YOUR BODY WON'T HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME ADJUSTING TO THE CHANGES YOU'RE PUTTING IT THROUGH. and find a hobby. play a sport, go running, play darts...something!!! anything but that sweetie, it's not attractive at all.

Answer 4

That holding for a friend crap don't fly give you parents more credit then that, just by telling them that, you don't think they're that smart. Always remember they're been there done that, what you just think you 're the first person to come up with that saying.

Second, their house there rules you pick to start smoking you know what would happened if you got caught, if you can't do the time don't do the crime. Stop smoking until you have a place of your own. You’re digging the hole here and there’s no way out but to follow the rules.

Answer 5

You probably don't want to hear this, but your biggest concern should be quitting smoking. As cool and as fun as you think it may be right now, you are becoming addicted and you will have a very hard time in the future to quit if you don't do it now.

You should go to stopsmokingonline.com and you should get information about this addiction. It is an addiction just like alcohol and drugs. You should find information to prove this to your parents and the print it out and talk honestly to them.

If you approach the subject like you want help with it, your parents won't kick you out. Try to be mature about it.

You should stop smoking for your health and your future! I suggest you check out the website below:

Answer 6

Smoking Stinks!!!

You are still so very young and have your future ahead of you so quitting now would be beneficial all the way around!

Are your parents the type that you could sit them down and tell them your story and simply ask them for their assistance in quitting? It might just be worth a shot.

QUIT SMOKING!! QUIT SMOKING!! QUIT SMOKING!!

(That was my subliminal message ;p )hehehe

Good Luck there and remember that smoking is just so dangerous to your health and all those around you that don't!!! Pretty soon I pray they ban smoking from every restaurant and public facility!!! Wanna smoke? Go smoke and destroy your own lungs in the privacy of your own home!!

Sorry about the tangent but I'm just so AGAINST smoking!!!

Answer 7

Whats more important to you? Smoking cigarettes or living at your parents house? If you can afford to move out and support yourself then go ahead and keep on smoking. If not then quit if you plan to still live with your folks. Be you own indiviudal smoking is not cool. Don't fall victim to peer pressures. Have you ever seen what old women look like after they have smoked all their lives? Lizard skin.

Answer 8

I smoked for 7 years; everyone wanted me to stop smoking. But when I met the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and my subconscious self told me, I would not see the rest of my life grow with them, I gave up smoking cold turkey in 24 hours. To this day I haven't smoked a cigarette or had alcohol in 8 years. All of our lives we will always have choices and there will always be two sides to your choice; a healthy side and a detrimental side. This is your choice. Which side are you gong to choose? Your mother can't save your life for you, that's all she is trying to do when she grounds you, her reason is she can't sit and watch you commit a slow suicide and be okay with it. Look life is too short as it is, why speed up the process.

Answer 9

The best thing to do is try to stop smoking. It is really hard, my mammaw has tryed to stop smoking several times but she never has. There isn't really a way to hide it cause most people can smell it. If you cant stop, try going to a family member that you trust to help you get through this.

Answer 10

Grow up, are you even 18?? Unless you have been smoking for a while (years) you arent really addicted. I think you want the drama of it. You need to respecct your parent...they arent telling you not to smoke to be controlling, they are telling you because it is a nasty thing to actually get addicted to. As you get older you will realize that you have rules no matter where you live ir how you live. Just learn to deal with them and get over it.

Answer 11

well the only real way out of this is if you go to your parents for help there is a reason they are so freaked out about you smoking

so if they find out by someone other than you it makes it so much worse so maybe go to them on a good day and sit down and say that you are scared that they will kick you out but you wanted to be truthful and you need help and they are the only ones you thought of to help you and tell them you are addicted and you will do what they say

and it seems like they are good parents cus you mom really cares about if she cried all night over that so there is a chance they wouldnt kick you out but you will most likey get grounded and have all your privilages taken and they will most likely want you to stop seeing your friends but babe they dont sound good at all but in will hurt you and them and its the only way trust me its so much better this way babe
