Trying out for the drama club? Nobody's life ever got ruined from cigarette smoke.
When I was a kid, my dad smoked 3 packs a day, and nobody cared, because all kids parents smoked. It was a rare if you found a parent who didn't smoke. I bet all these kids who make fun of you, at least half them have at least one parent that smokes. So just deal with it, laugh these people off, knowing they are in the same boat as you, but they will never admit it. You know their real truth though. Question is, do you want to believe it, or would you rather complain about your dad some more?
there is no solution other than your dad quits or you move out. it is a bad habit in more ways than one. i know because i used to smoke
tell dad!! let him know how you feel,ask him to smoke outside.i hate cig smoke and it is nasty!and i hate to smell it on other people!my sister smokes , she stinks!!i love her , but she stinks!
Perhaps the only remedy is to move out as soon as you can as your dad is probably not interested in quitting or smoking outside.
If you are too young to move out due to financial or other problems perhaps you could move in with a relative such as a grandparent. If you are willing to help your grandparents with housework and give them other help in heir old age they might be quite glad to have you. Grandparents can be very understanding people and are often very attached to their grandkids.
