He should pay for his own smokes now.
It kind of sounds mean making him pay for stuff like you mentioned. Maybe give him a limit, like $10 for a bday present or whatever and anything over and above he can cover...like if he wants to give an awesome present it's now up to him. If all the other parents are still buying presents then it might seem unfair to your kid and he might not want to work. "if I don't work...i get stuff to free". Not a psychologist or an experienced parent though.
But definitely he buys the smokes from now on. Wouldn't hurt to contribute a six pack once in a while either.
