I know its really not that big of deal for most people.  And I also know that a lot of parents smoke.  But its slightly different in my situation b/c I have severe asthma so my mom's smoking literally makes me sick.  Even though she doesnt smoke in front of me, she chain smokes in her car and I ride in it everyday and I literally have to take  my inhaler afterwards.  

I've talked to her about it but she wont stop.  i basically told her that if she loved me she would stop. so she did for a week.  but i went out to her car and just now and found two packs.  so I doused them with water and threw them out.  not that its going to stop her...

my mom used to smoke and i used to always try and get her cigs and flush em or hide them.. but i would always get caught. but in the end she quit. so you just have to leave it alone and let her stop on her own.

That's horrible. You should really talk with your mom. Tell her that you know it's hard to quit,  but it effects you a lot, and you'd like it if she made more of an effort.

I don't really know what to tell you since I'm in the same situation. Both my mom and my sister smoke and no matter what I do or say they just shrug it off or think I'm exaggerating. I was in tears once talking to my sister about smoking and they still aren't even thinking of quitting. My friend's mom died from smoking so it's always on the back of my mind that mine could be next. It's a scary thought.
I don't have asthma but cigarettes make me sick to my stomach and give me major headaches. In the end it is YOUR health she's effecting and you have to keep letting her know that. It isn't fair to you.
But you also have to understand it's not something she can quit over night. She needs time. Maybe buy her nicorette gum or patches to push her in the right direction? I know that's what I'm about to do pretty soon. It's gotten pretty ridiculous.

I'm trying to get my mom to quit as well.

I know it seems strange, but I call her names and pressure her.

"Hey smokey" is one, and she'll be like "I'm going out to smoke" and I'll be like "Still with that? You're a weakling, get control of yourself. Obviously you can't, some small little drug is able to take over your life"

Anything to make her feel bad about doing it, or make her seem weak for not being able to quit.

Too bad you'll never have kids because no ones gunna love you, due to the fact that you are an idiot.

So, I don't really know everything so lets find out!  Have you talked to her about it again lately? What did you and she say?
