How do I ask my friends to smoke without stopping angry?
Two of my friends smoke, and I just thought of it today. I would like them to quit smoking, but I think they are angry. They began when 4 years old and older sister were taught the parents already know, but they do not seem to care. My friend told me where they get out their smokes and I do not know what to do. Please help me someone.

Sounds like your friends are very young its to bad they have started smoking. As a smoker myself I have to tell you its very hard to stop.I even helped to take care of my mother who died from lung cancer due to smoking. So I know what it can do to ones body. My dad tried to stop seventeen times before he stop. He did it cold turkey he is now 93.
Trust me your friends really don’t enjoy smoking they know they need to stop. And they will when its time. -

how old are your friends
talking to your own parents might help you’ll be surprised what another mums influence can do for one of your friends.
or even have a chat with one of your teachers at school without mentioning names of course
or maybe try and get the person where they get there smokes from in trouble if the supply stops hopefully they ll stop

If they were smoking since the age of 4, call your local protective services. Suggestions is to hint theyll smell bad or teeth discoloring. The serious of this matter, is that your friends could have serious health problems even if they dont realize it. Want to be a friend, tell a HS counselor so they can be the “bad” guy.

From experience, there really is no way to ask. I mean, you know, maybe there is, and it’s different with everyone, but everytime I ask anyone, especially those closest to me, they get angry.
I’m not sure why that is. But more than likely, if they’ve been doing it, or even experimenting at that age, there’s no reason to get your hopes up that they will even listen. Sorry. - Comment Feed for this Post
They probably will get mad, but if you really care about your friends, you will tell them anyway.
Talk to them about it more than once, tell them that it really bothers you how they are hurting their bodies. Ask them to maybe start smoking one less a week, or just to cut back in some way.
Also, take some tips from the source below. It says to make sure you don’t speak in a harsh tone, and not to call them out about it in front of everyone.
Good luck. I’ll be praying for you and your friends.
