So he smoked?
How does that suddenly translate into him not trusting/talking to you?

because he knows that sometimes if you try and tell someone something for their own good, they will think you are just trying to ruin their fun etc. and end up not liking you for it.

i would try and give him a few facts/stats about the diseases etc. that smoking causes.

other than that...i dont really know soz...i dont really have that much experience with friends + drugs etc.

Why wouldn't he trust you if he's your best friend? When did he start smoking because if he had done it prior to you knowing him I wouldn't see why you knowing would change anything, you should be ok man.

Hey Alex (I'm guessing that's your name).

Your friend is making a big mistake - and you have to tell him that. Do not under any circumstances join in with him. Tell him all the damage it is doing to him. The best thing you can do to help him, is to tell him how serious what he's doing is and to tell him to stop it. To make you understand how serious this is, I will tell you all the most important facts that can be found from this page: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advice/facts/smokehealth.htm

"Smoking kills around 114,000 people in the UK each year." - There are only 60m people in the UK.

"Of these deaths, about 42,800 are from smoking-related cancers, 30,600 from cardiovascular disease and 29,100 die slowly from emphysema and other chronic lung diseases." - Would your friend like to die slowly? Tobacco is addicting - if he carries on he will die and there is a 1/4 chance that he will die slowly from emphysema and other chromic lung diseases.

"Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances." - Why would you opt into smoking at least 400 toxic substances?

"Of the 300 people who die every day in the UK as a result of smoking, many are comparatively young smokers." - Your friend could be one of these people - young smokers are dying today. You wouldn't want that to be your friend.

"The number of people under the age of 70 who die from smoking-related diseases exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug addiction." - This is how much of a problem it is today.

It is important so your friend understands, that you explain to him the dangers and why he should stop while he hopefully still can.

i was about to go off on you for saying smoking kills you...until i found out u guys are talking about ciggarettes :P

but i agree with you if we're all talking about cigs, cigs are terrible for your health and do all sorts of damage to your lungs.

take a deep breathe. Believe it or not, it's not the end of the world. Find out why, and if they are planning on doing it again. If they are, dissaude them.

[polarbear]

on occasional stoge isnt to bad, dont freak out on him for smoking, just let him know you dont wanna do it
say you tried one and started sneezing and getting itchy, hell think your allergic and wont even bring it around you
this will make it so he has no one to smoke with, and he wont be interested
