god, I need some help...

The police can't actually do anything, it's not illegal for a minor to smoke.

You'll get fined in the US.

I had heard it was the same in the US, maybe that's only in certain states.

If I were you I wouldn't do anything. Is it worth losing a friend over? No. So let him be, at 14 he'll either get caught or run out of money to smoke. Which will probably solve the problem in due time.

If you really care about your friend, then if you want, you may give him some of this "shock therapy"

1) Show him some really disturbing pictures of the effects of smoking, how him a disgusting photos of black lungs that was lifted because it was allready broken beyond repair...

2) Give him a lot of Soda when he comes to your car / room, and tell him that you dislike smoking...

3) Tell him, Jesus / Buddha / Moses / Muhammad / whatever is non smoker... if he's Atheist then you can say the evolution branch who exposed to more pollution die first

thats actually not a bad idea; do it casually too; we exchange a lot of shock pics in our little group; the latest one is this enormous naked chick, and you can't even tell what it is unless you look close and find her face. it is truly scary.

I wouldn't be able to get a hard-on for weeks if I saw that.

I would not. Everyone (well, almost everyone, at least in US) knows what smoking does to your body. He will simply be annoyed. Like a previous poster said, no-one likes moral police, and no need to annoy or harrass him, trying to persuade him. It is his decision, and I doubt you would make much of an impact - people have to grow out of these things mostly by themselves. Just let him know you do not like it, and that you are against it, but do not make a mountain out of it.

2) Give him a lot of Soda when he comes to your car / room, and tell him that you dislike smoking...

That may be a good idea, along with gum. I hear and read that helps fight the craving, to a point.

Once again, it is rather annoying, not to mention absolutely irrelevant. Tobacco was not in the Old World back then. But most of those likely smoked cannabis & other psychoactive substances.


Once again, whatever you do, do not act like a mommy or an activist. I am sure he knows the risks and knows his habit is rather on the vile side - he does not need others to tell him. All that such nagging can do is break up a friendship.

So was Hitler

Heh, yeah, it was Hitler who led the first most successful (not really, but for those days it was a big step), widespread modern crusade against tobacco. It was his doctors and scientists who proved cigarette smoke was harmful. He also promoted vegetarianism and animal rights. Too bad PETA was not around back then to discredit themselves through collaboration .
