help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more
He smokes about 4-6 (possibly even more) cigars per day. I’m just really concerned about his health. How can I get him to stop? By the way once I tried to hide his cigarettes but then he got really mad.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
How about some well-placed articles about the dangers of smoking?
ur dad aint no kind just tell him to smoke lesser as it nauseates u
Yeah my dad smokes a lot as well, and lol when i was young i did that too!! got in so much trouble……
Anyway, quitting smoking is really tough and the will power has to come from within that person who is smoking. You can try and persuade to some extent (dont nag) but just be supportive. There are a range of tools out there now for smokers who want to quit, so although the habit isn’t easy to break, I think it’s probably easier to get help nowadays than what it was 20-30 yrs ago.
Unfortunately my dad just doesn’t want to quit, but maybe yours will give it a shot
you can,t stop him dear. he has to be the 1 who wants to stop. if he don,t want to stop smoking then there,s not much you can do to stop him.
not much u can do my mom wouldn’t even stop when the doc put her on oxygen she did`t stop till she was coughing up blood from her lungs from all the smoking! she smoked 4 packs a day that’s 80 cigarettes a day for 30 years it didn’t matter what i said or did she wouldn’t stop its up to your dad if he wants to quit cant force him
You can’t get him to stop if he doesn’t want to. It sounds obvious but it’s the truth. I assume you’ve tried all the usual things, like telling him how worried you are for him, the risks, how important he is in other people’s lives and that he will ultimately make you all suffer by dying early. But even those things usually don’t work. Just keep trying, some time he might have a break through. Cigars are not as bad as cigarettes (as I’m sure he has told you) because you don’t fully inhale the smoke. But the risk of mouth and throat cancer is even higher. Good luck.
You can show him pictures of men suffering from serious diseases (lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, etc) and tell him to write down ten good things about being a nonsmoker – and then write out ten bad things about smoking. Do it. It really helps.
hypnotherapy is his best chance of stopping and staying stopped long term but he has to want to stop otherwise it is pointless. Telling smokers the risks and trying to scare them about cancer and lung disease etc does nothing to help them stop. Infact the stress of thinking about that kind of stuff is likely to make them smoke more.
If he wants to stop hypnotherapy can help him deal with the physical and psychological reasons for smoking better than any other technique.
Nothing you can say or do – he has to be the one that wants to stop and for his own reasons.
Barcode Your Answer:
Sorry! Nothing you can do to MAKE him stop. He must admit to himself he has a problem & make a commitment to himself to make improvements. All the whining, nagging, crying, pleading, threatening, shaming, etc. will not do any good. You could always tell him he is endangering YOUR health by having to breathe in second hand smoke.
