[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 496500, member: 59"] It is my thought that smoking is the least of your prpblems. Our difficult child began smoking at around age 14 and we were very much against it. We couldn't stop her other than throw them away when she brought them home and not give her money to buy them. When she turned 18 we had no standing other than to tell her she can't smoke int he house or in our cars. When she went to rehab everyone there smoked. When she goes to the AA meetings almost everyone is standing outside before and after the meeting smoking. We have finally decided if that is what will keep her calm and relaxed fine. I think you have to pick your battles on this one. Do you want him getting kicked out of school? He is not going to quit so this is one of those lesser of the two evils. I hope you and your husband can come to an agreement on this. Signing the paper for him to smoke is not saying you approve of his smoking, it's a decision you make after considering asll the alternatives. In our opinion smoking is a minor problem compared to what we have been through. It hurts no one but her and hopefully at some point in her life she will want to quit. Nancy [/QUOTE]
