I Caught My Teen Smoking

Mayhem Mailbag:

‘Dear Morning Mayhem,

My son is 17 and a senior in high school, and overall he’s a pretty good kid.  He’s smart, he gets great grades, and he plays sports. I was picking up his room the other day, and I found a pack of cigarettes hidden in his sock drawer.  Obviously, I’m not happy. Back in the day, my dad would have made me EAT the entire pack.  That’s just the way he rolled back then. I’ve confiscated the pack, but I don’t know what the best punishment is to get it through his head that he shouldn’t be smoking.  What should I do?’
