How can I keep the fact that I smoke from my parents?

Ok, I’m 14 and I’m a smoker, im trying to keep it from my parents, not because I’m scared of the punishment but because I don’t want to dissapoint them,I’ve been keeping my cigarettes taped to the back of my dresser out of sight, I chew gum or brush my teeth after smoking, and I usually spray axe or other body spray on and wash my hands but I feel I can do better, and yes I know smoking is bad for you, and I wouldn’t have to worry about it if I quit so please don’t leave any comments saying that, im strictly asking for insight on how to make it seem like I haven’t been smoking (preferably from more experienced smokers who have to hide it or have had to hide it in the past).

Answer #1

I started at 15 and at first my parents were really mad because they smoke and didn’t want me to deal with it. Well my father ended up telling me he wasn’t going to condone and wouldn’t buy them for me, but gave me the ok so I would stop stealing their cigs. I am now 21 and I still smoke, not a lot because I have come to hate the smell and the taste, and I am currently trying to quit, but once you are addicted to the nicotine it’s hard to stop. But yeah, just always assume your parents are not stupid, even if you think they are, because they are not. Axe, brushing the teeth or gum, washing your hands after smoking, maybe have a certain sweatshirt you wear when you smoke so your clothes don’t smell. Once you get used to the smell it’s hard for you to notice, but TRUST ME if your parent’s do not smoke they will notice and you will bein big trouble, mainly because your age.

Answer #2

first thing dont smoke.

2nd get a water bottle with sucking lid and and poke smoke in the inside of sucking lid and put it back on bottle breathe in and out of lid slowly all smoke will go into bottle then dispose of bottle with smoke inside

Answer #5

Why are you trying to hide it? Look I honestly hope they catch you before this ends up getting worse. You do know what tobacco does to you and your willing to continue smoking? I’m not going to lecture you about the dangers but I really hope they catch you soon enough for the sake of helping you before this ends up getting out of hand…

Oh and just to add, you 14 years old. I seriously do hope they catch you soon enough before this smoking business turns fatal.

Answer #6

Answer #7

You don’t want to hurt them? Dissapoint them?

Then don’t smoke, at the end it wont be that you are hurting them, your hurting yourself. Smoking, bad for the brain and lungs, your finishing with your life slowly. But you don’t want them disapointed? Great way of working it out. But at the end it all comes to your choice.

Answer #8

omg everyone stop ripping on him I dont smoke but if he wants to thats his choice! awnser his question! … ok well find a better hiding space like in a vent or sumthing smoke outside out of sight and fabreez works best, my friends smoke like hell

Answer #9

well I dont smoke cigs I smoke weed and I hide it so just dont do it around them or anything and I would put the cigs in like an empty container where your parents would not look or expect and all the rest your doing good and if the dentist say anything bout stains in your teeth just say its from coffee thats what I did

Answer #10

What your already doing is exactly what I did, and yeah I agree with the whole smoking in the wind or blowing smoke away from yourself if you get me, I started smoking at 13 or 14, I cant remember, im nearly 16 and im addicted and it sucks, I dont wanna lecture ya but seriously, its not cool, if its because your stressed, there are other ways to relieve stress, I hate smoking and want to stop its disgusting, but I cant, mainly because I havnt got the will power due to recent complications in my life, but seriously, I advise you quit or at least cut down, try not to get addicted , because its not fun trying to quit when your addicted!!! good luck hun, nad just remember, you dont want to disapoint them but the thing is, if you continue to smoke and you get ill from it or get lung cancer etc, they wont only be disapointed but they will be upset and possibly heart broken. think about the effects it will have on your parents in the long run if you care about them that much. if you wanna talk about quitting , how to do it or anything message me x

Answer #11

okay, I am 14 too. I have smoked before. and my parents still dont no about it till this day. NOW all the people saying mean things and lecturing you, well its just wrong. its your life, not theirs. I do suggest you to stop, because my grandpa is dying from smoking his whole life, its sad to see him like this. and it made me reilic=ze, I should not follow in his steps about smoking, but I am going to give you advice now(: haha. k, a way to keep them from smelling the smoke is, get a toilet paper roll, when all the toilet pper is off it, the brown thing. Stuff about 1 or 2 fabric softener sheets in the roll. and blow your smoke into it, it smells like fabric softener, not smoke at all. you will most likley not get caught like this, me and my friends have done this many times, and like I said I am still not caught till this day, but no I do not smoke anymore, so I hope my advice helps you!!!(:
