Quit smoking? -
My son is 12 and he smokes cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, and cigarillos like theres no tomorrow!!!! i have taken him to jail, hes been locked up for 24 hours, he just doesnt get the clue.. i need some help and advice...
Pray, always show him you love him, never agree with him smoking, not even if you think he-ll do the contrary. If my dad would have agreed with me smoking, I-d be smoking even today, but I have stopped a long time ago.
Try to keep him busy, very busy, talk to his freinds and see if they are willing to help. Friends are important in a decision like this.
Give him a lot of fruit.
Hope it works!
You-ll have a tough time forcing him to quit. All of that is addictive, and I suspect he is doing much of this for attention (or was until he got hooked on nicotine)
As below, cut off his cash and watch who he hangs out with. You might want to hang out with him more as well. If his time is filled with other activities, he-ll have less chance to smoke and make other mischief.
None of those things are free. He is twelve years old. Where does he get his money? If it is from you, maybe you should think about cutting him off. His friends might front him for a while, but it won-t be long before they cut him off also.
first of all good luck, keep trying and burn his smokes, if that doesnt work have him lock up again. or boot camp for kids.
You can get in trouble for a minor doing that. I would suggest boot camp, look online and Im sure you can find one.
i suspect there is trouble in your home, more specifically you, if he behaves this way. you need to change first, by loving and respecting yourself first (it seems that you are not the most sensitive or most diplomatic person as displayed by some of your answers, to say the least) and eventually everything including your son will follow your example.
For some, nicotine is needed for a missing receptor in the brain. This was discovered when a shrink noticed certain of his patients were chain smokers. Is he depressed or hyper? That could be your clue that he needs medication. If he-s doing it just to annoy you, well, I can-t help you there.
