I think my friend might have a dependency problem. What should I do?

Question

I found out that my friend, Tyler, has been chewing tobacco for almost a year. He's 18 now, but he started when he was 17. I also know he does drink and occasionally gets baked. I don't know how often he chews, but I'm concerned. I really care about him. He knows I'm bi and doesn't have a problem with it, but I didn't tell him that I like him. ANYWAYS, I don't know if I should talk with him about the chewing, drinking, and/or the smoking. Any help?

Answer 1

if your a good friend then i think that you should tell him about it he will appreciate it later:]

Answer 2

Talk to him as a friend. I wouldn't bring up the extra feelings just yet, there'll be an opportune moment for that! Make sure he knows you're there to help him through it! and if he takes it badly, just be prepared, and either way, make sure he knows he can turn to you for whatever. Be there for him no matter what; he needs you, he needs friends! Good luck!

Answer 3

tell him to stop the chewing. ive seen people who have had half of their face cut off due to the damage the chewing has done. its gross, and it makes your mouth unbelievably gross. im telling you tell him to cut it out, its gross. check out the link below, show them to him, or tell him, it should help
