How to tell my parents I smoke?

So i've been smoking cigarettes regularly for about 6 months now and I think it's time I finally had a **** at home / outside the house. A few factors which stop me telling my mother is she is extremely anti-smoking and hates it whereas my father has been smoking for the past 20ish years. I'm 19 and it's perfectly legal but what gets me the most is dissapointing my mum.

I'm fully aware of the risks of smoking and how detrimental it is to my health, but it feels so nice.

Here's exactly how you should tell your mom:

*light cigarette*

Listen babe...

*blow smoke in her face*

I smoke cigarettes.

If you say it in a cool and collective manner, she'll understand because of how awesome you look.

She can't tell by the cigarette breath??

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="mikegtfc"] This does sound awesome but i'm sure she wouldn't appreciate it :Dmikegtfc

[QUOTE="mikegtfc"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]She's not going to appreciate that her sons not going to outlive her either. What's your point?

BEST IDEA RIGHT HERE

You don't have to tell her directly. Just bring it up in a conversation. Maybe someone could be sharing a story and you could share one of your own and say something like "oh this reminds me of this time i stepped out to have a quick smoke and the FUNNIEST thing happened..."

Just tell her while you're eating dinner, then your Father will be present to support your decision.

I don't smoke(Never Will) so...I have no idea what I'm talking about. :P

Well pull out a cig in front of them and say, "Oh, you want one too?"

Why do you have to tell them anyway? Just let 'em smell your smoked clothes and they'll understand right away :P

Dont tell them. I havent and wont tell my parents that I smoke cannabis.

I wouldn't give it much thought, or even tell them. If they find out fine, if not fine.

Mom...

Dad...

I smoke cancer sticks...

Parents: WHAT?! *Head explodes*

Just tell her while you're eating dinner, then your Father will be present to support your decision.

Erm... If he is eaven half responsible he wont go "atta boy! thats how we do it!" ya know :D
Just dont tell her, they find out soon enough...
Or light a joint, get high, go to your mom, ask if she wants some. If she says no and wants to kick you out of the house you can say that you thought it was a cig.
*random *** ftw!*

Oh, I thought he'd support the Idea since he's a smoker himself. Bah. Well, How about this. Just leave a package out and tell your Mom it's yours. OR, you could write her a nice letter telling her you now smoke.

I have a great idea. Stop smoking. It's the best solution. Just because something makes you feel good does it mean you should do it? It's actually the worst reason to do something. But often.. it's the only reason anybody has. you should have a mountain of reasons to do something that has adverse side effects.

Tell her you do crack, and meth, and weed.

Then all of a sudden the idea of smoking cigarettes doesn't seem all that bad to her.

Keep in mind that you are an adult, and it is your choice. So you don't have to defend yourself. However, you should try to be respectful of your parents' opinions. My younger brother told my mom who is against it as well, and its not even legal for him to do it, and she just wants to help him. Just tell your mom that you smoke and you know it is horrible for you, but that you are having a hard time thinking about quitting because you like it. As long as your honest, it should go over better than you expect. Explain to her that you don't want to disappoint her, but that you feel bad that she doesn't know, and you'd like her to be supportive in whatever way she can. She doesn't have to like it, but as her son you would like to be able to talk to her about it. And as for smoking around the house, I'd say you should suck it up and not do it for a bit. It would feel like you were rubbing it in, and it might seem disrespectful. Hope this helps..

lol... cancer sticks? You do know that a lot of food also gives cancer (salami, alcohol, eggs, peanuts, cashews, ham, milk, yogurt, cheese, etc.) if uncooked? Smoking is just as bad.
