how can i explain to my mom i smoke ciggarettes? And how can i get her to understand?

Answer 1

So you are wanting tell her that you are slowly killing yourself each time you pick you a cigarette and smoke it.. cause that is exactly what you are doing. My Mother died from smoking at 57 yrs of age. It really hurts to see someone dying and you can not do anything about it but watch and pray that it'll be quick so she does not have to suffer. So please just tell your Mother that you really do not care about her or yourself and want to see just how quick you can blacken your lungs.

Answer 2

Why do you want to smoke? Is disgusting, your breath smells, your teeth get yellow, your hair falls out, skin gets greasy and lines appear quicker yuck! However all those are the least of your concerns, what about all the health problems that cigarettes cause? and another thing, no one wants to kiss a smoker!
Do you even realise what cigarettes contain, one of the things they contain are rat poison and the stuff used in nail polish remover.
You don’t even realise what your getting yourself into. I watch my mum every day smoke and everyday get sicker, THAT’S not cool, I can completely understand how your mum would feel if she found out that you smoke. She doesn’t want you to slowly make yourself seriously ill.
I did a school project on Emphysema a while back, and most deaths in the United States are from emphysema caused by smoking. If your thinking “ I can always go on antibiotics” well you cant! Emphysema is irreversible! Once you’ve damaged your lungs, you’ve damaged them, that’s the end, there’s no going back.
I just hope you quit whilst you can, to this day my mum hasn’t been able to quit, do you know how much she has been struggling?

Answer 3

That is a good question. How is she going to understand that you are wasting anywhere between $5 and $10 per pack....if you smoke 1 pack a day, that's $360 a year. How is she going to understand that you are slowly poisoning yourself with all the 4000 (yeah that's FOUR THOUSAND) toxic chemicals found in cigarette? How is she going to understand that you are giving yourself and everyone around you cancer (second-hand smoke is just as dangerous)? How is she going to understand that you are dangerously raising your blood pressure and weakening your heart? How is she going to understand when you fall asleep with a cigarette in your hand and burn yourself (I knew a woman who did this...she died of infection from 3rd degree burns! It was pretty horrific!) Yeah. How do you make her understand?

Quit.

Answer 4

In answer to your question, your mother won't understand.

My husband smoked (as well as doing other drugs) as a teenager. The smoking addiction was harder to quit than the drug addiction! He has not smoked for 5 years and his lungs are still recovering, but thank God he stopped.

Do yourself a favor and quit before it costs you not only your money but your health.

There are other ways to relax and chill that don't involve destroying your body.

Answer 5

You probably can't get her to understand. And if she tries give you reasons why you shoudn't smoke, you really should listen to her. The longer you smoke the harder it is to quit. If for nothing else quit smoking to save money. Smoking gets expensive, and it's not getting any cheaper.

Answer 6

I'm sure your mum has only your best interests at heart, it's hard for a mum to hear or find out things like that about their kids, but maybe if you approach her in an adult way, she may see your side of the decision that you have started smoking. It's not a very nice habit though..........................

Answer 7

I started smoking when I was 12 and didn't quit till last year. My father use to smoke then quit about 4yrs ago but it was too late he died last year of lung cancer needless to say I quit smoking. I use to hate people telling me how bad it was because deep down I knew. Please quit smoking it does really cause cancer and life is short enough as it is.

Answer 8

Well I can tell you that you aren't going to 'get her to understand'. Are you kidding?? Smoking is so harmful to you and those around you. Your mother isn't going to understand!!!! She sees you doing something that is harmful and you want to get her to 'understand'? Yikes my dear! Feel free to tell her that you smoke but be prepared for the lecture. You deserve it!! Quit now while you still have a fighting chance at reducing your risk for lung cancer!

SMOKING STINKS!!!!

Answer 9

Well...if your mom smokes, then just buy a carton, bring it home and ask her if she will go 50/50 on it with you.

If she doesn't smoke, then she's the smart one and she will probably figure it out on her own.

Problems solved.

Answer 10

first of all SMOKING IS VERY BAD. and you are signing on for an early grave. you should stop. but if you don't just sit your mom down and just tell her but don't expect her to inderstand because there is nothing you can say that will make it right.
