what do u do with a friend who keeps on TRYING to get u to start smoking.?

Answer 1

tell him its not your thing, or try something like " i don't always need to have a fag in my mouth to get through the day thank you very much" (cigarettes are called fags in some places :) ) seriously though if you dont smoke than dont start ever imagine paying 6 bucks per box or what ever it is where you are from im in az and the taxes keep shooting up every year. and not just the 6 bucks per box but all the other hassle and you cant even smoke in bars in most of the us so yeah smoking is getting more and more lame by the day

Answer 2

First of all, you are very mature and wise beyond your years to not want to smoke, smoking may be the cool thing to do now at a young age, but your friends need to think about later on in life, when they cant climb stairs or walk long distances because they cant breath, or they are waking up in the morning coughing their lungs out with foul mucus that has over taken their lungs, cant laugh without coughing and you cant stop, being sick constantly with bronchitis that keeps you awake at nights because you cough up phlegm every time you lay down, and eventually you end up with CO PD ( chronic obstructed pulmanary disease) then you end up on oxygen for the rest of your life ( Thats no Fun) And last but not least, your friends that are trying to get you to smoke now, more than likely wont even be your friends later on in life, because thats just the way life goes, some people pass threw our lives and few stay around for ever, if they are true friends they wont even try to get you to smoke! Good luck and do me a favor, ...... dont end up like me.

Answer 3

You let him know that this action is unacceptable. One of the difficulties in this situation is the fact that you are friends, and you still like your friend, and you still want to be friends, so you don't want to do anything to damage the friendship. By trying to get you to do something harmful to your body, your friend is damaging the friendship. Open, honest discussion of this point will usually resolve it. Your friend may be feeling guilty for his or her action and wants some company and validation in it. Let your friend know that this is not acceptable. You are unwilling to perform this act, and would appreciate not being coerced. As long as you have a healthy friendship already, it should not be damaged by open and honest communication. If it is, you may need to revise the friendship.

Answer 4

The best way is to..

convince them to STOP smoking! If there trying to make you start smoking, then you should change the situation, make them start to stop smoking. Tell them about the side effects of smoking, that they WILL die because of it.

Answer 5

dont talk to him.STAY AWAY!!!he could try and get you high off marijuana or many other things but dont smoke even the first smoke could kill.unless you want to keep killing yourself dont smoke!it hurts your lungs and trust me if you have a girlfriend there is no way in hell that she will want to kiss you.your breath will stink it will cause you to have yellow teeth and much much more.and i know you have heard this all before by your D.A.R.E. officers but you and me and lots of other people know its true.but if its one of your "friends" that is trying to get you to smoke well then there not your real friends.real friends dont pressure other friends to do deadly stuff like smoke. SO BE SMART AND DONT SMOKE!!!!!

Answer 6

That happened to me all the time when I was in middle school. The more pressure I got from friend, the more I resisted. Stick to your guns. The whole reason they're pressuring you is because they know they're doing something wrong, but they think they'll feel less guilty if "everyone else is doing it". If you tell them NO enough, they'll stop bothering you about it.

Answer 7

DON"T DO IT!!!!! I started smoking when I was about 12 or 13 because it was easier than saying "no thanks"... I've regretted to for years. You could point out all of the health benefits of (not) smoking, you can ask them what is the REAL appeal in it? there are are other ~ less self-destructive methods to stretch your legs, rebel, and hurt NO ONE!!

Answer 8

Tell them you are not interested in starting a VERY expensive habit. You're happy to smell good, taste food and your lungs are clean.

Thanks but NO THANK YOU

Good Luck!

Answer 9

i can tell that friend of yours is not a good friend at all.
Why keep on trying you to do something that you dont like it?
Does he care about you at all? NO, i guess because if he does he would not convince you to do the same like what he's doing.

Answer 10

Tell them to back off, you should never be forced to do somthing you dont want to and if you have to tell them in a loud voice, "I DONT WANT TO SMOKE! EVER!"
