#Don't feel bad about yourself. Your parents will still love you even if you smoke, but they won't like it as it is very damaging to your physical and mental health. Consider telling them the truth. Even though you might get punished, they might at least appreciate your honesty, especially if you want them to help you quit. Or, consider giving up smoking altogether so you have one less thing to worry about. | #Don't feel bad about yourself.

*The cologne trick doesn't always work. If you spray too much, they may think you're getting high off of Axe or whatever substance you use to cover up the smell. Parents with good noses (especially ex-smokers themselves) will be able to smell through it. Scrape your tongue with your teeth to eliminate the odor, and make sure they know a couple of your friends smoke. This way, you can always pull the old, "Oh, yeah, I was hanging out with so-and-so. It's so disgusting, isn't it?" when they ask you why you smell like an ashtray. Also, you can say something like "Oh, Cool!" to be funny. If you are joking around and show you are not nervous they will be less suspicious. | *The cologne trick doesn't always work.
