just talk to the child as a person and discuss all the facts with them. to punish a child sometimes backfires and the child will make a joke out of it with thier friends. if calmly talked to with the common ground rules of the home an understanding might be achieved.  |

Heather says something that I have heard so many times from those who never took up smoking. Many have told me a similar story. Sit the kid down outside somewhere or in the garage, and insist he smoke one cig right after the other, don't let him take a break inbetween, let him cough his head off, wrinkle up your nose, and say how much he stinks, wave your arms around, fanning the smoke like crazy....and stand your ground. Make him make himself SICK..he'll get the message loud and clear.  |

My dad made us chain smoke til we puked, but I don't choose to follow my parents guidelines. Don't give your child allowance until they quit and if you find a pack, snap them and flush them. Better to have an angry kid than a smelly one, LOL Space Case76 smoker by choice  |

Well I would not make them smoke a whole pack one right after another that would be very dangerous in my opinion and lead to high levels of toxins in the body...I would however tell them how you feel about smoking and make it clear it is not acceptable and from there you can either ground them, take away priviliges etc. but there is nothing you can really do to make tehm stop they have to want to and if tehy do not then they will just sneak off and do it behind your back. luv_4_2pac  |

I wouldn't punish them at all. People (even kids) can make their own decisions about some things. Smoking is not the worst thing in the world. If you punish them by making them smoke more it will make them sick for awhile, but I don't really think it will deter them forever. They will just find more creative ways to hide it. Most of the time kids smoke out of rebellion, but if there is nothing to rebel against then eventually they will stop. If not, oh well. Smoking isn't a good thing, but when authoritative figures keep shoving anti-smoking propaganda down your throat what else are you supposed to do? I'm allergic to smoke, but when ever I see people discouraging others not to smoke it makes me want to light up myself.  |

Or as some parents do ground the kids, tell them smoking is the devil; then while they aren't looking take the smokes for themselves. LOL |

first off-- & no offense meant, as this likely doesn't apply to you --make sure you're not a hypocrite...my mom smoked, my sister smoked, but when i started at 14 i got dirty looks, lectures, even threats of bodily harm from my sister, hehehe...didn't matter 'cause i did it anyway-- bummed from ppl/snuck around/stole others' when i didn't have my own --but had they not been doing it too it might've made me less determined to prove that i was as well, tho it wouldn'a made me stop, but that's all water under the bridge now...actually if you want a kid to get sick, make 'em smoke menthols-- i liked the taste of one so much as a kid-- i was younger than 14 --that i smoked almost a whole pack...needless to say just the thought of doing so makes me green, but unfortunately menthols are only menthols. cheers,  |

well I found out recently my two teens were, they keep it a real good secret. I was so angry as my entire family has died of lung related disease and cancer, I myself had surgery for cancer last year. I guess the only thing I could really do was to let them know I nolonger trusted them as they decived me for so long I didn't know what else they lied about. So after all the lectures which by the way do no good, I just told them that I was not going to support their habit, nor would I be around them if they smoked. That was a few months ago and they have both been trying to quit. Its an addiction so I know it isn't easy, I think they are finding out on their own how expensive and stupid it was to start I only hope they stop on their own.  |

I am only 15 and don't plan on having babies for about...10 years. But if/when I have kids, if I catch any of em smoking, I will first make them smoke an entire pack, then whip them, and ground them for a long time. It may sound cruel but its called tough love. JesusFreak  |

I hate stuff like smoking it hurts my lungs. Its already bad enough that we have pollution. But children caught smoking should have a punishment fit for there offense. You should not over react. And remember there are things such as peer preasure not just for children but for adults too. Make them quit and tell them the risks. If that does not help then seek a a pro. Luv StormDragon  |

i think what makes kids goto drugs is not allowing it ever noticed how the more strict the parents are the more the kids are screwed up odd isnt it anywho they probably start out cause they want to know why its so bad then they get a nicotine rush from it and keep going back for the rush then get addicted for trying to always get that rush and eventually lose the rush |
