teen smoking

I was a teenage smoker. I began very young and smoked up until a couple of years ago. I honestly only smoked maybe 1 or 2 a day not that it's a good thing. My parents only caught me once I think because I got caught with them at school. Funny thing is they werent even mine they were just a friends I was holding. My dad freaked out on me and I promised I'd stop just as your son did but I honestly just got smarter about how I did it. I did this with a lot of things (not that I was anywhere near a wild child or anything) With smoking even with younger people no matter how much you ground, restrict, or punish them once they've began it has to be their choice to stop. I know it's horrible but it's the truth. The best thing you can do is give him all the information on smoking you can and let him know you are there for him and you will help him stop but only if he really does want to stop. It's too late to force it out of him. Just be honest and open, if he responds well it could really open up your relationship. Good luck
