15 year old boy has anorexia bulemia. he just started an outpatient program every 2 weeks with the hospital. should i be concerned about his illegal underage smoking? his father (who has smoked since 12) thinks it s not to be addressed at this time. I see the addiction increasing daily.

I would advise you to mention it to your GP. Right now, he needs to focus on his eating disorder problem. While doing so, he may understand why he's acted in other ways such as smoking. As I tend to suggest to parents, it's important to focus on one thing at a time.
