How to handle smoking/dealing teenager?

I have a 16 yr old step-son who will not stop smoking pot and even says he’s not going to stop. It doesn’t matter what we say or do he won’t stop. We have grounded him countless times and took everything away from him. We did tell him he is not to bring anything at all into our home b/c we also have a 2.5 yr old who idolizes him and I would go livid if my son got a hold of his brother’s crap. I just learned he is also selling pills (I don’t know what type). My problem is my husband tells me to stay out of things and to let him handle it. My step-son was acting suspicious last night on his computer so I checked it this morning where he left open his facebook and I found his messages he sent about selling pills, smoking pot, and other typical teenage boys activities. My husband doesn’t like snoops and says he won’t snoop on his kids b/c he feels it’s an invasion of their privacy and wouldn’t want anyone to snoop on him. He would be very upset if he knew I looked on his son’s computer even though I found what I found. I don’t know what to do. If I make an anonymous call to the police I have to tell them how I know all of this and by telling them will let out my identity. If I tell my husband it will only start a huge fight about my snooping. If I say something to his son he’ll only deny it and delete all of his messages (there goes the evidence) and change his password. He doesn’t have a printer hooked up to his computer for me to print anything and I don’t know his facebook password to access it on my computer. He deletes his history everyday so no one can see what he is doing online.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please serious replies only and no criticism to me. I’m asking for help b/c I don’t know what else to do and am open to suggestions.
I appreciate everyone’s advice. If it were up to me his *** would go to boot camp for a few reasons but his dad won’t do it. I’m so sick of the negativity and disrespect from this little selfish punk but I do love him and want to help. My husband is a lot more lenient than I am and gives in to his kids easily (more than he realizes). All he would really do at this point is talk or threaten him which he has already done a few times and it doesn’t work. I just took pics of his messages with my cell so I will have some proof to show when needed. I know what the right thing to do is (turn him in) but by doing that would cause a major strain on my marriage.
I should note drug and alcohol addiction runs on his mom’s side of the family. She currently is relapsing again and had the kids taken away from her which is why we now have full custody of them. I’m guessing he’s getting the pills from her and she doesn’t know it b/c we don’t have anything here at all. I made sure of it when his problems first started.

I quit SMOKING! …kinda?

Okay, so I’ve been eating healthy and exercising everyday…and today, like right now, I just threw my pack of newport menthols away. I just wanna’ f’n get this over with. I tried quitting once, lasted about a month, but got back on it because of a friend who smokes. I started smoking when I was 15, was a casual smoker…about 1-2 cigs a day. Then when I hit 18, I started smoking a pack in 2 days and I’ve been smoking pack in 2 days since then (I’m 20 now).

But this sh*t is ending RIGHT f’n now. I’ve read loads of articles online but none of that really helps, I want personal advice and experience. I want to know, how big of difference will it be if i stop smoking? As in appereance, health, mood and such. I don’t have much of support since all my friends are smokers and do alot of heavy stuff besides that, and I’m trying to branch out of it. I live alone in an apartment so family support isn’t available. Will I gain ALOT of weight even if I eat healthy and exercise? Will there be any difference in my skin tone (It’s dull and has no shine) Will I go through depression? How did it turn out for you guys?

Sorry about the long ass post, any help is appreciated. I really want to go through this and be done with it. How did you ex-smokers keep your willpower up?

Thanks in advance

I think i might break up with my girlfriend because she does drugs ? I have asked her to stop but she didn’t !?

Hey everyone

So me and my girlfriend have been together for 3 months now, And like since we got together she has been smoking weed before that, But i never knew because she never told me, And like 1 month ago or something i asked her to stop smoking weed for me, And she said “Yes i will stop for you” but obviously she hadn’t, And the time in those months that she hadn’t smoked weed she was at sometimes and she said she was dying for some weed, But her dealers were dry, And she knows that i get pissed off when she smokes it, And yet she doesn’t/Hasn’t stopped yet, And today she told me like around 4:30pm when we were talking on msn and usually if one of us is going out somewhere we would tell each other before hand, But like out of NO WHERE she just says “I gotta go now hun. Byyyyyye I love you so much <3 Im going to my nans" and then when she comes back online like FOUR hours later shes stoned and i asked her what she was doing when she was out and she said “Walking, Smoking, In the park lol” Im really pissed off with her and i don’t want to break up with her but i don’t know what to do,

What do you think of my sitaution ?
And do you think i should give her the Ultimatium ?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me !

Thanks in advance
