Some of the more obvious warning signs are described below.
Friends Who Smoke--Kids with three or more friends who smoke are ten times more likely to smoke than kids whose friends don’t smoke. Make it a point to know who your kid’s friends are.
Smell of Smoke--If you smell smoke in your kid’s hair or on your kid’s clothes, your kid may be smoking. If not, your kid is probably hanging out with kids who smoke, making it more likely your kid will start.
Excuses to Go Outside--If you notice your kid making excuses to leave the house for no apparent reason, pay attention. It’s possible your kid is going outside to smoke.
Gum and Mints--Kids sometimes use gum, mints, or mouthwash to cover up the smell of smoke on their breath. Kids who smoke may also brush their teeth more than usual.
Perfume or Cologne--Kids often try to mask the smell of smoke by using perfume or cologne.
Febreze™ or Air Freshener--If your kid is using Febreze™ or air freshener on their clothing, in their car, or in their bedroom, your kid may be trying to cover up the smell of smoke.
Matches and Lighters--Kids who keep matches or lighters in their backpacks or bedrooms may be smoking. Matches and lighters are good indicators of cigarette use, even if you don’t find the cigarettes themselves.
