I would also believe he was stealing them. I started smoking at 15, unfortunately. I stole cigarettes once or twice. By the age of 16, I was mostly able to buy them myself...then I moved to another country where they were legal at 16.

I would not push this one. If he wants to smoke, he will smoke.

I would be fuming if he was stealing from me though. That won't happen. I also would not let him smoke in the house.

I probably sounded like I condone it. I do not condone it one bit though.

My concern for this would be more of concern for you. As long as it is not affecting your safety and security (as in - is he stealing money from you for cigarettes, smoking at your home, etc.), then it sounds a bit like you are alone in this one? If your BF is doing nothing, and this is not harming you, then it would be sad for you to be alone in picking up the battle.

providing tobacco to a minor is a $315 dollar fine in Oregon. When I was 16 I would with the tobacco task force and bought tobacco for 5 months testing businesses. But being a civilian that would be impossible to charge her with.

Not really all mom has to say is Jr. took them without permission.
