My dad and my uncle had a ******* terrible smoking problem, they were going through pack after pack ect so I separately bet each that if they didn't smoke for a month then I would take them (note these were at different times) to a steak dinner just me and the individual I had everyone that they knew on their asses just making sure they didn't slip And they passed so I took them out and now my dad has quit for a year and my uncle about three months (his was more recent obviously) but I encourage you to do the same please.

that's not nice

Call his bluff. Instead of leaving the room, sit there wheezing with no inhaler. Once he finally pays attention tell him something like as long as he suffocates himself, you're gonna suffocate yourself. Just don't expect it to work. I've buried almost a dozen family members from smoking related cancers and nothing but impending death and guilt made them stop; sometimes barely even then.

Couldn't you just hide his cigarette packs? And when he comes looking for them, you could speak to him. Also tell him about the cost he would incur if you were sent to the hospital. Thats an effective remedy.

Smoking will come back and bite him in the a** both my grandparents smoked. One of them died from COPD and the other is starting to get COPD. They are in there early 70's. hopefully he will stop before its too late.

Your dad smokes in the house? My parents both smoke, but they never ever smoke in the house cause they have kids (my sister and I, but we're teenagers) anyway, they always smoke outside. They will smoke in their car, however, never when there are kids in the car or people who are uncomfortable with it, and usually they try to not just before someone else gets in the car, unless they don't know that someone will be with them soon.

You can't make him quit smoking. That's something he needs to do for himself. No amount of nagging / pleading / reasoning will work. This is an addiction, very much like a drug addiction and it takes a lot of work to break from it (I should know). But yout Dad definitely should make an effort to not smoke around you. If he doesn't , then he is a huge ass and YOU should make every effort to not be around the smoke as it is a very REAL danger to you. Good luck , OP!

Let's just file this under 'parenting done wrong'.

Your dads a douche I understand him not quitting but to just light one for you to have an asthma attack is low

You have done your duty as a filial child. Good enough. *pat on your back*
