I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
why is he reporting her? Thats a bit harsh!
Just roll down your window or tell her that it hurts your chest.. go to the doctors I doubt very much that being in the car for a bit gives you trouble sleeping, unless you are around it every time she smokes.
Just ask when your in the car can she wait until your outside. x
Geez that is really selfish for a mum to do that.
I wouldn’t get in the car with her if she is going to smoke, even if it means you have to catch a bus or something elseor even stay home. You shouldn’t have to breathe all that in, it is damaging your health just as much as hers.
You politely ask her to not smoke
Tell her that you feel ill when she smokes around you and you’d appriciate it if she wouldn’t smoke when you are in the car with her. Explain that her choice to smoke should not be affecting your health, and now that you think it is you’d like her to stop around you.
It’s a toughie…my mom used to smoke with us in the car, and no amount of begging her not to made her stop and parents hate being told what to do.
Now she dosn’t smoke at all…..I wish you much luck in this matter.
Personally, I think smoking while you are driving is dangerous. Especially if you drop the lit cigarette!
Apart from that, if she does it on your way to school, I would imagine that the teachers all think you smoke because you will smell strongly of it.
Get your father to talk to her about it, even if he no longer lives with you. You are his child too, and he has a right and a duty to protect your health if she doesn’t.
I find it really hard to understand why any parent would enforce secondary smoking on their child, it feels like it should be called child abuse. However, I’ve seen a lot of parents and even grandparents, smoking in a car with closed windows, with a sleeping child in the rear seat! It makes me so sad for the child.
I’m afraid your mother is being thoughtless or careless, either of which is appalling. If you can’t get through to her (tell her what you’ve mentioned about your symptoms here) ask your father to tackle the situation for you.
Alternatively, refuse to go in the car with her is she’s going to light-up. She shouldn’t really smoke in your house either, because you are still being subjected to secondary smoking. Kick up a fuss, your long-term health is at stake here.
Smoking is a habit not a need, if you have enough will-power you can kick the habit, but you have to want to badly enough for it to work. Paying for cigarettes is expensive, reeking of them is worse. If she gives up she will be surprised at how much the house/car/breath smells and be surprised at how food really tastes (smoking affects your taste-buds adversely).
Good luck!
Ask mom to roll her window down at least 5 inches so the smoke is sucked out the window. If your dad reports her he is being an a-hole and that will start a war between them where they will start reporting each other for minor things. That would be considered lower than low for him to do that. If your dad has custody of you stop telling on your mom this is not right. This is between you and your mom. Keep it that way!
Roll down your window.
tell me ill tell her or just say stop smoking really loudly
just let her know that your not asking her to not smoke, but your asking for her not to smoke in the car, let her know that when you breath in the smoke it makes you have a hard time breathing… also if you can’t roll down your window and she really needs to smoke ask her if she can roll down hers… just let her know that being so close to it bothers you
Doesn’t that suck? My mom does that and she lights up in the house before going outside. I think it so disgusting, not too mention dangerous. You are probably suffering from secondhand smoke, which can be just as threatening. Talk to someone about it. Maybe a guidance counselor or someone who can explain to your mom the problems of secondhand smoke. It got so bad at my house I couldn’t take it anymore, so I moved in with my dad. Good luck:)
Tell that you won’t go any where with her until she stop doing that
