Hello, I was wondering how bad smoking a cigarette really is. I just ask because my dad smokes all the time and he doesnt seem to care, especially if its around me and my other brother. He started smoking a lot after my mum and older brother died, he smokes a lot as well when his business partners come over. Of course if the smoke bugs me he just says to go to a different part of the house, even though the smoke can drift through the doors to his office. If he and his partners dont care, how bad can smoking be. Still new here, so forgive me if I havent gotten this down yet.

Very.
- More than 16 million people already have at least one disease from smoking. - More than 20 million Americans have died because of smoking since 1964, including approximately 2.5 million deaths due to exposure to secondhand smoke. - 8.6 million people live with a serious illness caused by smoking. - On average, smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier than nonsmokers. - Nearly 9 out of 10 lung cancers are caused by smoking. Smokers today are much more likely to develop lung cancer than smokers were in 1964. - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States, and 90% of lung cancer deaths among men and approximately 80% of lung cancer deaths among women are due to smoking. - Smoking slows down lung growth in children and teens. but those are just a few of many facts... You should seriously talk to your dad about smoking and cutting down, along with him not smoking in the house. Secondhand smoke is extremely bad for you, especially if you’re a growing boy ![]() "The head may err, but never the blood.” Nice salt pouch, assholeQuote:

I have tried before, he doesnt listen. Of course it could also be because he is pretty busy

If that’s the case, leave a letter or send a text, or just ask him to actually sit down and talk to you instead of trying to catch him when he’s busy

My grandma smoked and she has emphysema. Some people don’t get any effects but that is rare. Your risk of getting a disease is affected by if you have any other lung problems, how much you smoke, how long you have been smoking and other things of corse. A lot of smokers get Lung cancer and other serious diseases.

So when you smoke, tar is put into your lungs. This can damage them a lot and it also encourages growth of cancer cells. It also damages the things that take in oxygen which means you run out of breath quickly. You wont see any signs in the first year or maybe even 10 years but if you smoke like a pack a day for like 10+ years, there is a very good chance you will get a disease. The problem is bc cigs are so addictive, it it very hard to stop smoking. A lot of times, will power is not enough. Also, if you get a disease, it is chronic which means you could have breathing problems years after you quit.

I'm sorry to hear that bro, especially about your family. I would say that although some people know it's bad, it's a way for them to deal with stress from traumatic experience and day to day work. I would say trying to get him to find a different way to deal with stress and then working on quitting is more effective to saying they are unhealthy, when lot of smokers already know that.

Smoking is wicked bad for you, and the people around the person smoking. You’ve got the basic details from other posters here. But I’ll add that if your dad still smokes and while with you, you could always say hey you want us all to go we mom and my brother early or something? Cause that’s what’s happening here. And the amount your smoking you’ll be there first. Them me any your other kids will be alone. You want that?
See what he does Seems to me he loves you guys a lot. He should at least try harder, maybe cut down, not smoke around you guys. You’re being victimized by his bad habit |
