Even though you mother is being hypocritical, she has your best interest at mind. She is smoking because she is an adult, and it's legal....your a minor so it's not legal for you. Don't start...you'll end up trying to quit one day...and it's not easy. Plus, cigs take away your sense of smell, taste, energy...and can lead to loads of health problems.
You can't because she said so, Number One.
We're the moms. We make the rules.
There's a LOT of things we can do that our kids had better not.
Hang on 'till you're an adult, it can't be that much longer a wait . . .

She shouldn't smoke and she knows it. She wants better for you. Some smokers have an impossibly hard time to quit and it can kill them. It certainly hurts their health. They can't be as active as a non-smoker b/c their lungs are weakened with smoke.
Smoking is a disgusting and expensive habit. Don't do it. It also ages your skin. You will smell bad. You will have bad breath and foul body odor. You could develop emphysema and/or lung cancer. You will look old before your time.
Don't do it. Be healthy. You'll go further in life and be happier. I am a non-smoker. I tried smoking and hated it. I only did it to get my friends to shut up. I didn't even really inhale. It was so disgusting to me. I'm 36 but look young. I also wear sunscreen religiously. My skin looks good. I exercise and stay active.
Double standards aren't cool when it comes to parents, but if you aren't completely finished growing yet, smoking can have some serious repercussions to your height and development. Ask yourself if you want to be short and shrimpy for the rest of your life (if you are still a teenager or younger).
Because you're still young enough not to get hooked on them.
Actually, you mom is doing you a favor if a spanken stops you from
a life filled with smoke filled rooms, discolored teeth and fingers.
I wish my pappy took me out to the woodshed when I started smoking,
Tip of my hat to your mom.
