Parents Found Out I Smoke

well u can try to give up now and maybe succeed,try after 10 years and fail or lung cancer is always an option.didnt want to sound like ur dad but i saw a freinds father die of it when i was in 7th grade.the poor man begged to be taken off life support.

Trust me T-man, this is something you should be glad that your dad is giving you a bollocking for.

Quit alright. It qwas the hardest thing I did, well besides loosing weight, and it was the best thing I did. I saw my sister survive cancer... smoking ain't worth it.

The above two comments i agree with piniynini, your dad only wants whats best. YOU CAN DO IT MY BROTHER!

i really wish you would quit.. mainly because after years of smoking, my father has 2 blocked arteries and severe chest/heart problems. he has to take abt 30 pills a day just so his heart can keep functioning.. u dont wanna be in such situations neither do u want ur future kids to be either.

My two cents...

1) JUST STOP (if you're in that stage where you say you can stop anytime but continue to have them every day for some reason... lol)

2) Go out, party, drink a lot, have a few celebratory smokes for quitting if you need to - then sleep for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE if you already think you're addicted.

Strapping young person like yourself could easily sleep away 3/4 of a day, maybe even a full one if possible - by the time you wake up, you've already been "clean" for a full day - and make it to three days and the cravings will stop I promise.

From then on it's just willpower to stop that nasty habit of putting things in your mouth. But your physical cravings will be gone in 3 days without cigarettes i promise!

Well, I imagine your Dad wasn't so nice in the way he spoke with you...I always hated the lectures from my parents too. I have a nasty confession, I smoke for a few years too...quitting was the hardest thing I'd ever done..even today when I drive, I miss it. If I ever picked one up again, I'd never stop..I loved menthols and can still fill that crisp delicious yearn for that burning in my chest...isn't that nuts? My husband smoked too, just upped and quit one day. I couldn't do it. Finally I started keeping suckers around and instead of poping a cig in my mouth, I'd try a mint or a sucker while driving, and at home popsicles. I know it sounds nuts, but it began working. Slowly I quit and now the smell of others smoking makes me sick, but I so get why they do it. I hope you find someway to stop, you'll be glad you did in the future. :)

I was a smoker too and quit when I found out I was pregnant. Best thing I ever did and I did it cold turkey. Do try to quit and hopefully it becomes a lifelong decision for you. It's not easy - I sooooo know that! Just like Sobia, if I picked one up - I would start right back up again. I wish you all the best when you make the decision to quit. You can do it!! :)
