i'm 18 and still live at home. Both of my parents and older brother smoke alot they smoke about 2-4 packs a day !!!!! My little brother who is 15 and I both have asthma. I cant take it anymore i cant never breath, i can never get enough air. I get sick very often and the doctors say if they don't stop soon i'll end up very sick. Whenever i try to talk to my mother about it , she gets very mad and yells at me. She says i know i'm the worst parent ever and then tells me to get over it. She gets mad at any little thing i say about smoking. And my dad smokes in the bathroom and theres no window so it speads everywhere. If i want to go out i have to wash clothes everyday so i dont smell like it. I'm very scared i'll end up with cancer!!

someone please help me.

I agree! The best and only thing you can do is to move out asap! I see that this post is a year old, so I hope that you've long moved out since then, but if you haven't, please take care of yourself and your brother and move out as soon as you can! Fortunately, my parents didn't smoke when I was a child, but my grandmother and uncle did and it's a miracle I survived it! Best of luck and wishes to both of you! Heal and be well!
