I am only 14 and I smoke. I've tried so hard to quite but it just ain't working. I've been in the hospital so many times and I'm afraid my parents are going to find out, What should I do?
Sincerely Alanna jae

How can you go to and be in the hospital so many times (for what?) and your parents don't know?

Because I've had really hard time breathing and coughing, lets just say my parents aren't that bright when it comes to this stuff

[Wondergirl]

So who paid all the hospital bills?

So who paid all the hospital bills?

My grandma

[Wondergirl]

And you've been smoking since you were ummmmm three?

[Wondergirl]

Your grandmother paid many tens of thousands of dollars for hospital stays?

No sense I was like 10

You would have to have smoked much longer than that to have a cough and trouble breathing, especially serious enough to be hospitalized..

Um no you don't my friend has been smoking for only a year and he's been in the hospital for all the same stuff. And I came here for help not to be lectured thank you

[Wondergirl]

Your friend is probably asthmatic -- or nonexistent.

[Wondergirl]

And your grandmother has paid out how many tens of thousands of dollars for this?

[alannajae]

I'm 41, almost 42. I've been smoking since I was 16. I have no trouble breathing. In fact, considering how many other health issues I have (not related to smoking), I'm shocked that the smoking isn't an issue.

You've been smoking for 4 years and you're having issues? Well then, the answer to your question is simple. Stop smoking! DUH!

I don't understand what advice you wanted other than "stop smoking". That's really the only option you have, and it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

[Wondergirl]

and no my grandma didnt pay thousands for the hospital

If you were in even once, yes, she did.

and no my grandma didnt pay thousands for the hospital

Do you live in the US?

[Wondergirl]

Stop smoking those illegal cigarettes you can't afford, and pick up your spelling book (and study it) instead.

[Alty]

I also have to ask. Who buys your cigarettes?
