Today, my mom found my dad's hidden stash of cigarettes. He told her they were mine and now I have to spend two hours at therapy for my "smoking problem" every weekend. I've never smoked. FML

Today, my mom found my pack of cigarettes. She's now making me go to rehab. I had only smoked one cigarette ever just to try it. I didn't even like it. FML
Today, my parents found cigarettes in my car. After a long argument lasting over an hour, I convinced them that they weren't mine and that I don't smoke. A few minutes later, I went to work. Guess who decided to visit me during my smoke break. FML
Today, my mom found my weed stash and went berserk, grounding me and saying she's going to have my bedroom door removed. Less than an hour later, I found her laughing and smoking the same stash with my dad in the backyard. FML
Today, my mom spent over $200 getting me tested for every drug in the book. All because I admitted to smoking a single cigarette two years ago. FML
Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML
Today, my mom found a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. She hates smoking, so she tore every single cigarette to pieces, then emptied a bag of kitty litter on them. On my bed. FML
Today, my dad thought it would be funny to make me hold an unlit cigarette before FaceTiming my mom so he could prank her by saying, "He's got a new habit." My mom did not find it funny, especially when I mentioned to her that I did not willingly participate. Now I'm stuck in this car, listening to them argue. FML
Today, my dad hit his mid-life crisis. When I came home and said hi, he told me to shut up, then went to the living room. He then lit up a cigarette and started muttering about having to put up with me, then went into a coughing fit, because he's never smoked before in his life. FML
Today, my mom found out about my brother smoking. She calmly discussed smoking with him. On the other hand, I got yelled at and made to do chores all day despite having a university exam, just because I knew about it but I didn't tell her, because I knew that I would get the short end of the stick. FML
Today, while driving me to the hospital because I was having an asthma attack, my mother lit a cigarette. FML

I'm pretty sure you can tell a smoker from a non smoker. Just tell your mom to check his teeth

Just tell your mom that you need your dad there for "support".

Why not just tell her they're his..?

People keep asking this. It's likely OP DID tell his mother they were his father's cigarettes, but she believed her husband over her son because he's the adult and OP is the child. My grandma used to live with me, my siblings, and my parents when I was growing up. She often lied to my parents about us to get us in trouble. We would try to argue but my parents would always believe her because she was the grownup. Then one day they caught her in a lie and then the game was up. She got caught in a few more lies, and then she was soon put in a retirement home.

I never understood why parents wouldn't believe their own children, unless they had a prior reputation for lying.

But why wouldn't you believe your own mother, or in the case of OP, your own husband? Adults find other adults more credible than children by nature. That's just the way it is. I don't blame my parents for what my siblings and I went through as children. They just acted on what was most plausible to them at the time. I blame my liar of a grandmother.

What Op needs to do is get some sort of proof, go to the doctors, get the father caught in a lie.

The previous poster is correct. adults tend to believe adults. Usually because they believe an adult is less likely to lie than a child would to get it off trouble. But more times than not is because they are in denial and the WANT to believe the adult. This is why we end up with children being sexuality abused fit years by the same person. They try to tell then they are called a liar and punished for telling. You can usually smell a smoker. Their clothes, breath and even sweat. OP'S mom seems to be in denial.

Your dad doesn't have the balls to admit it was his cigarettes

Hide some weed or sumthing then blame it on your dad...then look at him and say now we're even

Does it really seem to you that his mother would blame his dad? He'd just get more therapy for the weed.

Holy smokes, if your father has a secret stash, he should be there with you!

Your dad is an asshole.

Tell you mother that you let them do a Cotinine (COT) test on yourself - the test will prove that you don't smoke - then suggest that your father take it. If you receive passive smoke however it will however show up there.
