I was kicked out of school in 8th grade & finally went back in school around 1990 I got kicked out again after getting suspended time after time for smoking...
I know most say well that would not have been worth it but when the teacher lets other kids be excused to the restrooms ( & teachers know that they are going to smoke) then why can't I . I started smoking at age 13 and smoked 2 packs a day since ( now its 3 packs a day) They all knowed this. it really made me feel trampled on when others could go smoke. my last day of school I asked to go to the restroom , The teacher said no your not going to go smoke .. I lit one up in the class room & walked out .
my only regret was I wish I never started smoking.
it's so hard to quit after you start...

Nice avatar. Really speaks of you. LOL
Tip: why don't you try some nicotine strips or candies?
But the best way to quit is just to quit. Withdrawals are shit but you'll get over it. Like my dad who was once a 3 pack a day smoker. Quit, came back then quit for good.
And yes, tell your parents you're quitting so that they'll understand the emotional imbalance. :*)

It's best just to go cold turkey to quit... because if you use those patches or whatever your just going to put yourself in more pain by teasing your body with them...

Cold turkey really isnt recommended medically. The patches and what not help to ease the body off the nicotine, as opposed to just cutting the supply off. At the rate he has been smoking, cold turkey wont work. He'll just be tempted to go back. The best person to consult would be a doctor.

Its actually not much about nicotine that "kills" you. Its just an addicting substance and a vassopressor(hence the heart factor, more reason to quit). But more importantly the tar. I have seen a 4 pack a day smokers' lobes when I assisted in a lobectomy once and it was full of *soot*. If you could call it soot because id really *black*.
That's why I had to bring it home for my dad to see so that he would really quit. :*)
