My brother is being an a**.
Whenever I'm around cigarette smoke, I fall into fits of coughing. For that past month my brother has been smoking in his room, and as a result, I've had a horrible cough all the time. He knows that he's not supposed to smoke in the house, and the smoke bothers my respitory system. Yet he continues to smoke inside, simply because it's cold outside and he dosn't want to freeze his precious little fingers.
Just because he has a goddamn nicotine addiction, it dosn't give him any right to spew rat poison and cyanide gas into the air that I have to breathe in a confined space. Plus, he knows I have a cough.
My parents have both talked to him about his smoking in the house, and how it bothers all of us, but he's not stopping.
I'm serioulsy on the verge of... well... I don't know what... but I'm really tired of waking up at 5.30 in the morning to a coughing fit and a dry throat just because my brother dosn't have the decency to take his cigarettes outside.
Does anyone have any advidce on how to get him to stop (apart from maybe slitting his throat, which I'm really close to wanting to do...)

Pick up his cigs, and his lighter. Ignite the lighter, and dangle the cigs over them, and say: "If you don't stop with the smoking in the house, THIS will happen to all of your cigarettes."
Believe me. It gets people moving.
Good luck!

You could do what I do when people smoke in my house- pluck it out of their mouth and put it out on the shoulder of their shirt.

GilAskan You could do what I do when people smoke in my house- pluck it out of their mouth and put it out on the shoulder of their shirt. I like that one biggrin You light it, burns once. You put it on someone's skin - burns twice

Is there a window he could open in his room?
It is unpleasant smoking in six inches of snow. It's nice when people are fine if I can hold my hand and exhale out a window, but I would still go outside if they asked.

What a jerk. I don't smoke in my house or anyone else's unless I'm told it's okay. Then again, I'm not an a*****e.
I guess your parents won't do anything about it or it wouldn't be a problem. You could just flush his smokes.

I finally 'flavoured' his cigarettes with strongly brewed valeriean tea (which tastes just like stomach acid), and told him that if he continued to smoke in the house, the rest of his cigarettes would meet a similar fate.
He finally stopped though. Not because of what I did, but because my parents bough a car for him, and he smokes in there now. I'm at least thankful for that.

Hmm...I was going to suggest he smoke in the bathroom with the door locked and the window open a bit.
