dad – How to Quit Smoking For Good

How can I get my dad to quit smoking?

My dad has been smoking for over 30 years. He smokes probably around 40-50 cigarettes per day.
I know about the harmful substances in cigarettes and I’ve talked to him about what they do to people’s health, he still doesn’t care. I don’t want to lose my dad. How can I get him to quit smoking?

How to convince someone to quit smoking?

Its driving my absolutely crazy, my dad smokes non-stop everyday, on the balcony and I can frequently smell it… I’ve been trying to persuade him to quit for years, but he never does. The subject of smoking always ends up in a heated argument and it really starts to affect the relationship a lot.

Plus the cigarettes cost a lot due to laws and it really gets on my nerves because its a waste of money. I really am concerned that I have been exposed one time to many, I have to eat dinner a lot and the guests smoke so much that I am concerned about getting illnesses from second hand smoke…

The facts don’t really work aganst him (well he never pays tha slightest attention on stuff that says bad things about smoking)…

What can I do to help a family member quit smoking?

My dad has been smoking for more than 20 years and its really starting to show. He doesn’t have health insurance and therefore hasn’t been to the doctor in years. His coughing attacks are getting worse. I want to do whatever I can to help him quit smoking but never being in that situation, I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions that really helped you quit smoking or another person quit smoking would be extremely helpful.

How can I help my parents quit smoking?

I’m 17 and my sister is 10. My parents are both almost 40, and they have been smoking since before I was born. We are so scared one of them is going to get cancer or something horrible. My dad wants to quit smoking, but my mom has never made an effort to quit except ordering the chantix pill which is now being connected to suicide. She says she wants to, but in my entire life the only times she has ever quit is when she was pregnant with my sister and I.

How can I help them? Any ideas? I would really appreciate it.

How do I get my parents to quit smoking?

They’ve been smoking my whole life, and I’ve tried every way to get them to stop. My Mom is all for quitting but she can’t quit if Dad doesn’t, you know… ’cause of the temptation. Dad would just yell at me if I asked him to quit and I don’t see any way to get him to quit without him being cooperative enough to not yell at me when I ask him to. I’m concerned for my mothers health and mine also (you know, the whole secondhand smoke thing).

Thanks in advance,

What is the best option to quit smoking?

Hello, my dad is trying (and determined) to quit smoking. Some choices that he is willing to take is Nicoteen Gum, Nicoteen Patch, Chantix, or Cold turkey (when you quit smoking without any help). Please pick the option and list positives and negatives about it.
Oh yeah, and just to let you know, my dad only smokes about 1-2 cigarrettes a day. So he’s not a "heavy" smoker. He’s just still addicted to it.
