Is there a way to prevent my son from smoking?

Yes, you can take steps to help prevent your son from smoking. Start by setting clear expectations about the dangers of smoking and how it affects health. Talk openly with him about why he should not smoke and what the long-term effects could be. Offer alternatives like chewing gum or other activities that can help distract him when he feels the urge to smoke. Make sure to enforce any rules you have set around smoking at home. Lastly, make sure to provide positive reinforcement for good behavior, such as praise or rewards, rather than punishment.
