Re: how do u handle?
A possible solution.
Research the adverse effects of smoking both long term and short term an then discuss them with your teen. If this doesn't convince him, don't give up. Keep reminding him the consequences of smoking. Show concern for his health, don't just say it's bad, back up your advice with a solid argument.
Re: how do u handle?
It's not his right.
He's not 18 a minor, he doesn't have a job. He doesn't have any responsibilities if he wants to play adult. He should be able to support his habit and not get it with his parents hard earned cash.
If my child was smoking he/she would get kicked out of the house. Its not acceptable and will never be tolerated.

Wouldn't fix things. You don't want to confront a teenager like that. You vs addiction, addiction wins 9 out of 10 times. It's not like he killed someone. This can be fixed, if you act smartly.

Oh yah its not like he's killed somebody... no ruining his own health is much better ;)
I don't understand how people actually start smoking at a young age. I never did and never will it just never was an option to consider.
Peer pressure? Please, don't blame other kids for what your kid does because its his choice unless somebody is pointing a gun at his head there is no way that could be a good excuse. His friends are not with him every time he buys a pack of cigs or encouraging him when he lights one up.
Its your own fault and you would have to suffer the consequences.
Re: how do u handle?
I don't smoke either but I think you're being too harsh. It's his life, not like he's going to drop dead right this moment. Throwing your kid out, is just too extreme.

my child wouldn't do it just like I don't and I would never let him/her be in an environment where it is acceptable.
If its HIS life then he can live HIS life in his OWN home, paying HIS own bills etc. :)

Agree..
I don't support throwing kids out.. nine times out of ten the problems seem to get worse..

This can get annoying too. Hard to put up with a parent who is nagging all the time.

Then he can move out? If he doesn't like the house rules then he can move out.
I'm sorry but you sound very childish. Why would you think a parent would just let their adult child live in their house without contributing or meeting the parents expectation?
Re: how do u handle?
my bro does ciggy and sheesha, we have no issues 
Re: how do u handle?

Oh so much critical situation. some poeple hv tendecy towards negative thngs and some hv no.that wt i hv noticed. and he has much.
Re: how do u handle?
Most of the rotten desi kids I know have wimpy delusional parents who think they can bring their child around with only ‘love and understanding’. 
They’re afraid to give their children any sort of rules or ultimatum and whatya know their child ends up becoming a crack-whore.
Throwing a child out for smoking might be a tad extreme but not finding a problem with them smoking or getting up to other sorts of things is sickening.

Just saying that the nagging gets annoying. Me sounding childish, probably cause I don't have kids yet. Your kids, so you're free to treat them anyway you want, I'd probably whoop my future ones, so my bad on calling you out.
Peace
PS: The threats I used to get up until I finished college were, "So do still want me to pay your tuition." That's partly why I felt like disagreeing with you. Being nagged when you've been nothing but a model kid is horrible.
Re: how do u handle?
I am disappointed by this, Korn. 
What happened to your sisterly duty of nagging your brother into quitting ? Huh ?
I guess you care more about the loser, what’s his name Cruise, than your own brother.

Elaborate, please. :)
Also, I thought that the threats about not paying for [insolent] kids was an American cultural phenomenon.
Aren't you in Kara land where parents pay for their kids till they are in their 40s, if they are rich ? :)
Re: how do u handle?
One thing is for sure. Man, woman, or beast, if you are a smoker, you are not getting close to me. Period. :)

Ditto. I pick up bad habits fast, and I don't wanna catch smokies.
