How to get my parents to accept that I smoke?

hmmm thank you for the opinions darlings been very helpful but it hasnt been brought up yet. & does any1 else think its disrespectful 2 smoke infront of them. Or shoud I just leave it with them knowing about it and not doing it infront of them?

im scared to tell my mom to I think it might be easier if some one else tells her then when she asks me about it I can confess to it I think that may be easier then finding the right timeing to tell her I smoke

IWell, if you were my kid, I’d be very hard on smoking, however, I’m not a smoker, and because from what I understand, the majority of your family seem to be, which may alter the situation. Either way, you’re becoming close to ‘of age,’ so I think that if you’re going to tell them, then I think that now is the right time. Just make them aware that you smoke, but don’t reliese it on them so fast, by smoking in their sight ect. After you’ve brought it to their attention, you might want to smoke with the other members of your family that also smoke, they’ll get used to it that way.

tell them that you understand that they don’t want you to smoke and the reasons behind it. tell them that you are still a teenager that has not mentally and emotionally developed enough to be able to see how things will effect your body in the future. teenagers are still in the “it won’t ever happen to me” stage. Or just tell them that you look forward to breathing treatments and life in the hospital as you get older. Or be an adult about the situation and tell them that you understand how they feel and you need their help and support to quit and yelling or punishing isn’t going to calm the cravings.

just tell them the truth. I used to be a secret smoker but I got tired of it and told them that I smoke. yea they were crazy mad, lecturing me and all but they eventually they got bored and they except my habit now. so my point is…tell the truth, they’re only going to be mad for a li while but more importantly you won’t have to sneak outside or hide your smoking from them anymo

thanks again for the responses most of you have really helped me

mwhahhh!!

your pretty I dont think you should smoke but its tr choice

tell them you’re gay first, then, anything after that won’t seem as bad
