Should i tell my mom i smoked?

Question

well about 2 months ago me and this one girl i have known since back in 2nd grade were walking in the woods talking and she is a smoker, well she had a full pack of cigs and i told her "how could u smoke that?" then she told me "well its not bad try one". well i did try it, then i did it again and again until last thing i noticed i smoked 8 cigs in 2 hours. when my mom went to go and pick me up i reeked with smoke, my mom asked me why i smell like smoke and i lied and told her that i was at the girls aunts and she smoke (which wasn't really a lie since i was at her aunts house and she does smoke a lot). well now i feel like i wanna tell her but i dont want her to be mad at me and yell at me and get upset cause she told me that she never wants me to smoke cause she had lung cancer 2 times (it wasn't due to her smoking it was all second hand smoke). well what should i do? if my mom yells at me should i bring up that she smoked when she was 18 and im just 2 years younger than she was and that i have never smoked since or just let it go?

Wow!!!
Some friend you have!! Your so-called friend encouraging you to smoke her cigarettes?
And,you did?  You of all people/kids should know what second hand smoke does to a person given the fact that your own mother is now suffering the serious effect from second hand smoke.....Lung Cancer!! 

No! Don't say anything to your mom...she already has more than enough stress to deal with.Cancer! 
And,the last thing she needs to hear is that her own kid is now smoking cigarettes,and got the cigarettes from a so-called friend whom you've known since 2nd grade.

I'm 40.And,yes....I smoke!! I can't take a full breath.I have to use an inhaler just to take a full breath. 
I'm now on my second day of cigarette patches.So far? So good! But,I take 1 day at a time.
Your so-called friend has no idea what she's doing to herself....5...10....15....20 years from now!!
I started smoking when I was 12,and I still think..."it won't happen to me"...at the same time I'm puffing on my inhaler.It's not cool to smoke,especially when you have a hard time just walking up 1 flight of stairs.

Don't smoke.....not for your moms sake.But,for your own! 
Just my opinion based on my own misery,and experiences.

Take care.

If it was only once, you really don't NEED to tell her unless the guilt is eating you alive. Just make sure you won't be stupid and do that again.

If you tell the truth, it becomes part of your past.
If you tell a lie, it becomes part of your future.
