He doesn't respond to me telling about the health issues etc, so thought I'd try something visual. Know anything suitable?

I use to smoke heavy, wait until he gets a chest infection and coughing up black tar from his lungs, give it 3-6 months.

Id give him no money towards the cigs or even buy them. It will happen when hes got no money, nor fags he will soon learn!

one seems to show real body parts presumably from autopsies and the damage caused by smoking

whyquit.com is a cold turkey site - really focussed me on stopping but I was much older. V v graphic in places. Majors on younger victims of illnesses due to smoking - 23 yo losing legs, 37 yo with cancer. Not for everyone though.

My BFF when I was younger was made to eat a packet of cigs when she was caught by her mum :s - never smoked again though

Another friend was made to smoke 20 fags one after another(!!!!!!!) not sure how good for the health this is but again she never smoked again
I agree with telling him if he wants to smoke he has to get a job and fund it himself

Just get him to watch Jeremy Kyle and watch all those grey smoke faces. Should make most kids brush their teeth too!
