[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 111216, member: 59"] We just faced this issue with difficult child. I caught her smoking in her room leaning out the window almost falling on her head. I forbid her to smoke in our home. In Ohio there is a no smoking ordinance in all restaurants/public buildings/school properties, so that pretty much limits the available smoking areas to outside. I figured if she had to pay for her own cigarettes and had to find places to smoke, she may think twice. I also told her I would not take her to the dr anymore for sore throats, that if she continued to smoke she should get use to it. And I also threw out any cigs that I found in her room or purse. I'm happy to report that she is no longer smoking. I don't know how long it will last because she has an addictive personality, but for now I'm happy. I know how you feel, the smoking thing really bothered me because we don't smoke, but we have also had much bigger issues with her so I guess smoking isn't the worst. Nancy [/QUOTE]
