I found out the other day that my friend smokes (another friend told me) (and no the other person isn't lying). I don't really know him that well (he goes to another school). I want to say something to him without sounding pushy or having him get mad but I don't know what to say..
any advice? and feel free to move this topic..I wasn't sure where to put it -edit- And change the topic title to "Don't know what to say.." lol |

That was harsh. If you dont want him to smoke talk to him about it. Chance`s are he wont change, but if u ask him maybe he wont smoke around you.

send him things [ like websites or pictures ] that show what the consquences of smoking are.
& then go - DUDE, LOOK AT THIS, WTHeck ARE YOU THINKING?!?! but then again, you guys arent really good friends, heck, he doesnt even go to yours school. so why care if he effs up his lungs? |

I think you should tell him that as a friend you wouldn't like him doing things that are harmful to him and that you understand he likes it but you would rather prefer it if he stops smoking.
If he doesn't really doesnt want to stop then there's nothing you can really do about it... |

You want to help him quit smoking? lol, you can't help him. Take this from a smoker, telling someone or trying to convince someone to quit smoking is impossible, the person has to WANT to quit smoking! If he wants to quit smoking then maybe u could help push him a little but if he doesnt want, just stay the hell away from him.

He just wouldn't listen.Non-smokers believe that smokers can just stop smoking if they set their mind on it. But they don't realize how strong the addiction is. As non-smokers, we have no power at all, unless we're able to cut all their sources of cigarette purchase. If you can't do that, then forget about it. |

well if hes just starting you may have a chance... but if hes already into it its over... usually its a habit and this habit is really hard to break. and unless you are related to him i think you have like a 0.0000001% chance of succeeding in your crusade for healthy lungs.
