There are no rules for allowing a 13 year old to smoke in the house. Smoking is an extremely unhealthy habit and there is no age at which smoking is safe. In fact children should not be exposed to secondhand smoke at any age as it can be dangerous to their health. As such allowing a 13 year old to smoke in the house is strongly discouraged by both health professionals and the general public.

If a 13 year old is determined to smoke there are some guidelines that should be followed in order to minimize the health risks associated with smoking. These include:

  • Always smoke in an area with plenty of ventilation preferably outdoors.
  • Ensure that no children or non-smokers are present in the vicinity.
  • Ensure that smoking materials cigarettes cigars pipes etc. are properly extinguished and disposed of.
  • Ensure that any furniture or fabrics that come into contact with smoking materials are appropriately cleaned.
  • Be aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke and take steps to reduce its spread.

These guidelines should be followed even if the 13 year old is smoking outside of the house as secondhand smoke can travel and still be dangerous to those in the vicinity. Overall it is strongly recommended that 13 year olds do not smoke as there is no safe amount of smoking.

Can your dad call the cops on you for smoking at his house if im 18 but live here by court order?

Yes, your dad can call the police for smoking at his house since it is his property and he has the right to enforce the rules. Being 18 years old does not exempt you from following the terms of living in his house by court order. It is important to respect his rules and seek a compromise if needed.

How do you make an eighteen year continue to follow the house rules?

Connect this thing to something very important to your 18 year old. e.g. If your 18 year old wants to go to some place where they want to work then say something like "If you want to live on your own and work in that area then you must obey the house rules to keep your area tidy" (that is if you won't be coming with your 18 year old.)


What can be done to a parent who is allowing a 15 year old to smoke?

You can't possess tobacco products until you're 18. If your parents knowingly allow you to smoke, then they are contributing to the delinquency of a minor in the eyes of the law. They could be criminally charged. Additionally, a parent who allows or encourages a teen to smoke could easily be found to be an unfit parent, and the child could be removed from their custody.
