So my dad found my cigarettes...

Take what's coming to you. Admit that they're yours and don't give any BS excuses.

More importantly, learn from your mistake. That doesn't mean being smarter about hiding things. It means not making dumb choices like starting to smoke. Anyone with half a brain these days knows that smoking is bad, but people start up anyway. :rollno:
 
Yeah, laugh it up. I bet you did stupid stuff when you were 17 too :D

Actually, dad was already whipping my ass with a thin leather belt for stealing packs of Lucky Strikes from him when I was nine years old.

C'mon dude... grow a set already... don't you have some hard drug addictions or a hooker habit that you feel the need to hide from dear old dad by this time in your "life"?!?
 
Tell him that you only smoke them when your drinking and driving for after those occasions when your chick gives you a roady while you rest your cocktail on her back. Spin it and suggest that he should be proud because you're an excellent drunk driver when you drive one handed. He should also be proud that you've had almost enough roadies to get through the whole pack. Then tell him that you smoke two packs a week. Sure fire win.

This. Times Infinity. No, I'm not sucking up, I'm being honest.
 
Just tell him, you probably smell like cigarettes most of the time when you come home ect. so he probably already had guessed.

If you really want an excuse tell him your mate left them in your car, and that porno he found, you were also just looking after that for a mate too.

When you get home make sure you have a lit cig in your mouth, and make it out like its not even the slightest issue (which really.. it isn't)
 
I know it was incredibly stupid of me to leave them in there, but my dad works in another state and I didn't think he was going to be coming up this weekend.

Any ideas?

P.S.- I really don't want to hear anyone tell me how bad smoking is. I've stopped but I had that pack left over and didn't do anything with it. Yes, you may call me stupid.

OK, I will call you stupid and I will once again tell you how bad smoking is. With everything that's known about smoking, only an IDIOT would start.

Take it like a man and try to learn something.
 
If your parents don't want you smoking, than you d*mn well should not have been doing so unless you were prepared to deal with the consequences of going against their wishes.

With that being said, now you need to man up and accept the consequences, whatever they may be. Don't be a p***y and try to lie about it and such. Be honest and admit exactly what you have been doing, that way your parents won't have to be ashamed that you have been smoking and lying.:rollno:

Sorry if that offends some of you, but that's the way I feel on the matter.
 
Just explain that it's not like your walking around all day smoking ciggies. You only had the pack handy for when you and your mates are driving around smoking weed. Explain that you just like to mix your weed out a bit with some tobacco.... Or not?

You could also just say that you scored a pack somehow and tried them out. It was stupid etc etc. You and your mates just wanted to see what all the fuss was about and after trying them, you still can't see what people see in them. It will never happen again, sorry he had to find them bla bla bla.

Lastly, as posted before, just man up. If you are smoking regularly then it is hard to hide. They make you stink even with sprays and mints. Might as well just come clean.
 
Say that someone broke into your car and had left them there.
Say that you've taken the cigs off a smoking child to save him from making a habit, and that you're going to donate them to church.
Better yet, say that you think smoking is cool and that you like smoking.
 
You could just tell him that you didn't actually smoke the cigarettes but just let them burn down because you needed the ashes for your crack pipe.

This is the best so far. I think if you just combine this with what maki and my self have mentioned you should be a ok.
Go get ‘em tiger!
Oh and no I’m not Xtreo I didn’t even have to come out of the closet it just exploded from all sides.:)
