Smoking and Health: Trust the science

Trust the science

Today, my doctor told me my asthma was being triggered by my dad's smoking. He wrote a note to my dad, asking him to refrain from smoking while around me. My dad took one look at the note, then threw it in the trash, saying the doctor "doesn't know what he's talking about." FML

Today, once again I tried to convince my dad to stop smoking. And once again, while I was speaking, he lit up a cigarette and smoked until my asthma flared up and I was wheezing so hard that I had to leave the room. FML

Crisis control

Today, my dad hit his mid-life crisis. When I came home and said hi, he told me to shut up, then went to the living room. He then lit up a cigarette and started muttering about having to put up with me, then went into a coughing fit, because he's never smoked before in his life. FML

Today, I overheard my mom telling my aunt what an “attention-seeking drama queen” I’ve been lately. All I asked was that she not smoke around me. I’ve had asthma all my life and am currently recovering from Covid. She thinks it’s all a conspiracy, meanwhile I haven’t taken a deep breath in weeks. FML

Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML

Today, my doctor told me that my lungs are as bad as a 60-year-old heavy smoker's. I'm 19 and I've never touched a cigarette in my life. FML

Today, my mom found my dad's hidden stash of cigarettes. He told her they were mine and now I have to spend two hours at therapy for my "smoking problem" every weekend. I've never smoked. FML

Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML

Today, I told my dad to go to the doctor, as he’s been hacking his lungs up every minute for a month, and I've not had a decent night’s sleep since then. He insists he’s not sick, and my mom yelled at me because she sleeps in the same room and is able to sleep through it. FML

dick in your attitude? that's kinda gross too. Im sympathizing with op, part of having kids is sacrifice. I'm a single mom and I pay my own bills and work two jobs and JESUS are there days I need a friggin smoke!!! (ex smoker myself) but when your a parent your babies are always first :) I don't do it for my heath, but for his!

Well, I'm sure when the doctor tells your Dad he has another year to live, he'll still say he 'doesn't know what he's talking about.' I guess your Dad will 'rest peacefully, full of tar' when he finds out the truth.

OP's father should be a more responsible parent and not smoke around his kid, especially if OP has asthma. The father is just selfish.

you dad is a dumb ass, he thinks doctors are the stupid ones? plus #82 has a good point. Sorry about your asthma, just hide your dads cigarettes then he'll either tell you to go get them or go buy some more, either way he loses

Sadly, this is all too common, parents not giving a shit about their children's welfare. Another common situation with asthmatic children is being allergic to animals, which triggers asthma symptoms. Many parents won't get rid of the pets although it is harming their children.It's sad when children don't come first. BTW who the **** is voting YDI? Do you think kids deserve to be abused and molested as well?
