    Well if they won't quit for you or themselves they won't quit. They are being selfish to you since it is their responsibility to provide you a healthy life until you are an adult. I would take matters into my own hands by avoiding them while they are smoking. Seclude yourself in your room when you can, tell them you are going to start jogging (perhaps just as an excuse to go for a walk, or hang out with nearby friends). You go for a bike ride, just cruise around and see the sights, it's not much effort. I would just distence yourself from them and focus on yourself.
    I had a similar problem with my co-workers not too long ago. I drive everyone to work, but since it's the company vehicle, I couldn't ban them from smoking. The smoke really bothered me because I had just quit, and all three of these guys were chain smokers that I was stuck with for 2 hours to work, and 2 hours home. I would get to the job and be sick, because I felt like I just smoked a carton, then I would get home and feel like I was gonna die. I told my boss, the boss told them to stop, but 2 hours without a smoke is forever for a smoker. They began just lighting up anyways, soon we were back to square one. So, I took it upon myself to go to the local hardware store and buy a vapor respirator, cost me $30. The next day, as the first, the second, and finally the third smoker lit up, I pulled out my respirator and put it on. I drove the whole way down the highway, through towns, and they thought it was a joke. I ran circles around them that day at work, and I wore it the whole way home. They thought I was crazy. Then my boss saw me wearing it the following day, it blew his mind, and they are now begging me for permission to smoke in the car. I do allow an occasional on or two, but I now have the authority to tell them to put it out or walk.
