Dear Queenie,
I have started smoking but my parents don’t know because I always go out of the house to have a cigarette because I know they wouldn’t approve.
I’m tired of keeping this secret, but I can’t afford to move out.
Queenie, should I confess and “face the music”?—Smoking hot girl
Dear Smoking,
Better yet, why not quit smoking? It certainly would be better for your health, now and in the future.
Furthermore, I suspect your parents are already aware of your smoking, because cigarette smoke tends to cling to the smoker’s hair and clothes, and to a non-smoker the nicotine addict smells like a dirty ashtray. Is that really how you want others to perceive you?
