I just caught my parent smoking. It’s quite ironic because they’re always telling me not to do drugs, and I don’t do any drugs (even drinking), yet they are the ones that drink, and now apparently smoke. What should I do if I am a concerned son?

   Well, your parents are grown and Im sure they know all the problems that come with smoking so its their choice and perfectly legal.
   However, if its really annoying you tell them how you feel!
   Remind them that its not only harmful to their bodies but to yours as well and that they’re setting a bad example and being hypocrites (for telling you not to do drugs but then smoking themselves)
   You can always guilt trip them
   Tell them that loads of kids at school are smoking and you’ve always told them no but now that they are, you may just consider!

   First do not smoke then grab there smokes and gently break match heads and crush them so you can fill the smokes with the match head powder or sparkler powder put them back in the packet without damage and teach them a lesson or talk to them and show them pictures or cancer patients..

   They’re adults. You’re not. Drugs are illegal. Drinking and smoking isn’t.
   Enough said.

   It wouldn’t matter to me. Its their life. They can live it how they want. Through making the good decisions and the bad decisions, it must be their choice so respect that.

   tell them that maybe they should please not smoke because you want them around for a long time and that it makes them stink really bad

   Ask them what kind of example they think they’re setting.
   How did they manage to hide it from you for so long anyway?

   They are adults and can smoke it they want to.

   You should confront them and tell them that you no what is going on and how you feel about it.
