just tell them, shouldn't smoke if you don't want ppl to know about it :3

your doctor will give you a lecture about how bad it is to smoke... especially if you have respiratory problems such as asthma or allergies (such as myself)

he cant tell ur mom its confidential

It's medically relevant, so he/she needs to know.

All they'll really do is try to dissuade you from doing it, and maybe tell your parents. But they already know, so no biggie.

Yeah pretty much.  Mine found out I habitually smoked marijuana and I got a drug lecture as well.

He can't do anything legally speaking to you.  He'll probably tell you it's bad and maybe give you some ways to stop, support groups, flyers, and stuff like that.  

It's good to tell them, though, as it changes some things they do, medications they can give you, etc.

Anything you tell the doctor is confidential...


-- Posted by Micus at 12:51 pm on Dec. 11, 2008

The doctor isn't going to do anything but talk to you about it. I wouldn't worry... I tell my doctors I smoke pot all the time.


-- Posted by EyelashWishes at 12:52 pm on Dec. 11, 2008

just say yes, and the dr can't tell your mum, its patient confidentiality


-- Posted by tennisplayerV2 at 12:52 pm on Dec. 11, 2008

idk...well if you smoke i think you might want to be honest.  u never know what might happen if you don't say anything


-- Posted by NativePunk2399 at 12:54 pm on Dec. 11, 2008

All they did to me was give me a lecture...nothing more

It's against ethical code for the doctor to tell your parents anything personal like that. He or she asks b/c it can effect certain medications or what they need to look for during check ups,etc. It's actually really stupid of you not to tell the doctor the truth. You can even tell them you smoke weed, it's not like they would tell the cops or anything.

your doc will just tell you its bad for your health and note it down in your files
