What would u do if u found out that ur child smokes?

I understand how a newbie start smoking. If unfortunately it's my kid, I'll try to sort out what I have done to make him/her feeling the needs of out sourcing satisfactions. I'd try my best to be friend with him/her and help him/her quitting.

I was a smoker, and I just quit smoking for 41 days. One of my reason for quit smoking is my daughter. I don't want her to be a smoker. But if one day I found out my daughter is smoking I won't lecture her, I will tell her the bad about smoking. But of course I don't hope my daughter will get addicted with cig...

I will get angry for sure :) , yes im a short tempered person , i will not wait for my husband to take action on my child i myself will go and give a tight slap if he/she is below 20 years ( im 20 now :D) if they are above this age then i will just give them lecture and i will say im not happy because of them.Why i said i will beat children who is below 20 is they only fear for parents beatings and try to councel them later.That will only work for them .I just hate smoking so i wont let my generation to smoke too.

I would first slap their face and as them to stop. That slap would be for him or her own good. That slap is to wake him or her up. After that i will lecture my kids and find the reason my kids smoke. Its better not to let our child smoke as is benefit to most things even our kids health, the health of people around and also our environment.

They should be explained on the dangerous consequences of a person when they smoke. we should give children an activity that will be benefit to the family itself.

I will not lecture him, I think. He knows what's good for his body. Nothing is important than health. He loves life. Since he was ten , I have been warning him, especially when he's suffering from cough, of the danger of smoking. But if he really smoke, I think what I can do is not to lecture him first, I would talk with him at the right place and at the right time. Just talk and find when he got into the habit, never lecture. Lecturing a guy who did smoke is not helpful. Helping him out of smoking is of great importance.

My husband and I both smoke, but neither of us would be OK with the fact that one of our kids did it. Its hypocritical, I know, but I don't want them to do it. I know our chance of having smokers are higher than non-smoking parents, but I would definitely discourage it any way I could.

Well I have 3 children and one smokes,one did and quit and one never did. I have tried to let them know what the dangers is in smoking and yes I do and got caught up in it at a early age and now suffering from it after all these years. I have a 14 year old grand daughter that told me one time that the other kids at school was trying to get her to try it, I ask her how many she could eat, because if I ever seen her with one that is what she will do with it. Smoking is a bad habit and every parent should do their best to stop the child when he knows they are starting. Later in life it will be so sad to watch them gasp for breath as I do now. And I told her do you like to see granny cough like this and she said No it scared her, and I made sure she knew that if she started this habit one day she would breathe just like me.

i founf out my son smoked at 17 here he is consider grown so i told him he could smoke in the house and he have to support his owe habit.i did not agree but what could i do it was his choice they made just respect my house when i say to them don,t smoke.

I am a smoker but anyhow, i would never like to let my children smoke. And i will try to smoke being away from them. This will reduce the habit of smoking and will create fear in children not to smoke. If someone in their house smokes thry will definitely get influenced by them and will try to smoke. Parents also have to be stricked with their children in making friends who belong to good family and have a good character. Friends are the ones who usually influence others to do something wrong.

a very nice and good discussion.the answer is simple.1 must find out the whole story and then take the required action in accordance with the condition.may b the report is wrong or is based on any misunderstanding.if u find that your child is smoking then take him out.freedom is at its limit and 1 who breaks the limit,he has to pay for that.

If I come to know about my son is smokes I would rather call him and speak to him and advice him to stop and explaining him in a soft manner depending on his age. Treat him as a friend not as a father like a friend I would advice him this will strike him and he will never ever touch again. This is what I personally feel. Thank you.

I wouldn't like it at first if my child started smoking at a young age, i would ask him why he started and if he is going to contruning this. I would still love him for who he is just that i wouldn't like it at all if he started to smoke. But it is his life so i can't really do anything about it.
