Francie 6,368 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Start of with you an the wife quitting smoking, setting an example, he probably thinks its OK, cause you an the wife smokes. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 An then ground him for a few months, school an back, homework, studies chores, bed, by the time he's done all that, an not seeing you or wife puffing anymore, he should stop, well hopefully, atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,470 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Don't punish him at all. Sit him down and explain how smoking will shorten all your lives and then come up with a plan to all stop. If you want I could email him and describe my experiences of seeing a parent die young in front of me while I was no more than a kid. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wxm 1,638 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Not sure if it works but seen somewhere where the parent makes the child smoke a load in 1 go qnd it's supposed to make them sick of them ?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IshotRogerRabbit 46 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Agree with above. You and the wife have to lead by example and quit or take steps to try and quit. The vaping pipes are excellent and worth a shot. As for the kid...sitting him down and having a good chat about the health issues related to smoking. Taking away all of his privileges like xbox, mobile phone, and money etc and a good long grounding. Good luck with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
