He's not exactly the best person in the work, but I really care for him, and it would be in my best interest if he stopped!. He uses his hookah to smoke scented tobacco!. He said that tobacco had no nicotine, but a short click to wikipedia proved he was lying!. He told me he didn't inhale, but then I figured out, yes, he did!. I need him to stop!. He will ruin him life, since this won't be the end of it!. Please help, a couple of my options are !.!.!.

A) Tell my Dad!. (My dad is like a mentor to him)
B) Tell his parents!.
C) Steal the nozzle of the hookah so he can't smoke with it!.

Answers:
You're probably right that smoking hookah is going to be bad for him in the end, but it's not your place to say what his best interests are!.

Sometimes we need to find out who we are not order to really find out who we are!.

I would let him smoke hookah, but express your concerns!. Tell him exactly what you wrote here - you're concerned for his health and you think he's better than that!.

Hookah most likely won't ruin his life, but you believe it's a bad choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I say answers C as well as D!. First try answer C and if he gets mad at you than try answer D!. Which for me would probably most likely be answer A!. I am sorry you are in a position like this but I know from personal experiences how you feel about your cousin doing this type of drug!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

let him know that you are concerned!.
but make sure you dont come off to strong or he might lose trsut with you and stop telling you things

i have the same thing going on with my brothers except its marijuana and other drugsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your best recourse would probably be to tell your dad, and see if your dad would be willing to "catch" him somehow, so your cousin won't have to know you told on him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's just hookah, I don't think it's as bad for you as just smoking!. Or at least I don't think it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try talking to him like you want him to stop and say that you don't wanna go tell someone about it!. then try C and if you get caught then AWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't be a little prick, let the kid smoke hookah!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know your concered but i would wait it out and see how bad it he is into it when i smoked i watched out for myself before you tell anybody else talk to him and tell him about that he lied to you and you should stop because you worried bout him if he doesnt listen nd he gets worse then thats when u can tell himWww@Answer-Health@Com

well i thought hookah wasnt even harmless xD
its not as bad as cigarettes (thats wat i beleive)
and yeah jusst let him have a little fun, its a phase for most teenagers (smoking, drinking, gang banging) because there growing up and want to explore and try new things, he wont be doing it for the rest of his lifeWww@Answer-Health@Com
