Okay, So my mom smokes literally every 10 minutes. The house smells like it, real bad, to the point where I don’t invite any of my friends over, it smells that bad. I’ve asked her multiple times to stop. but she doesn’t listen. Her dad aka my grandpa, died last year because of lung cancer, caused by smoking. And even after that, she still wont quit. I’m only 11, turning 12 in like 20 days, and I’m crying as I’m writing this. Can you please Help?

My mom and step-dad have smoked FOREVER. They have quit twice and eventually go back to it. I want them to quit for good. They spend at least per pack of cigarettes and they get at least three at the store. I know they can use the money for more useful things. I don’t think they understand how harmful smoking is to them. Is there anyway I can get them to stop for good?

My mom started smoking many years ago and for years she’s been saying I’ll quit, but she never does. This is not only killing her but also me and her other children living with her. With my luck i’ll end up dieing from second hand smoking. How can i make her stop and stop for good????

He’s my stepdad but i call him dad because he’s more of a father to me than my biological dad was. Every morning i hear him cough like crazy and my mom always teasingly says "another cigarette dear"? He’s been smoking since before they got married and they’ve been married for almost 7 years now. I don’t want him to die prematurely because of this please help! I’ve talked to my mom about it and she says that he’ll quit when he’s ready but when will that be? Hopefully soon! I’m really worried about him please help! Thanks!

He is 16 and he i smoking. I found out where he keeps it (in his ipod box and his his cassette player in his stereo) And he has asthma. So i really want him to stop. I dont want to tell my mom or his mom because it might ruin the relationships. What should I do?

My dad is a really heavy smoker, he almost always has been. He goes out for a smoke almost every other hour. My mom got him to stop once, but then we drove cross-country 3 years ago, and he went out for a smoke he said it was "just one, its no big deal" but he has been since, and he is already showing signs of lung cancer. Please help!

My mom has been smoking ever since she was a teen. I hate it that she smokes!!! In health at school we watched a few videos of true things that happed to people and some of them ended up dying. I’ve tried to get my mom to stop, but nothing works. No matter how many times she’s yelled at me or cussed me out i still love her and I dont want her to die. How can I get her to stop?

My parents smoke all the time and my dad smokes like every 5 min and i hate it i hardly go out in the living room to go get something to eat i hardly even eat at all i hate them smoking in the morning for school its making me go crazy i cant take it anymore i asked my mom nicely if she can stop smoking in the morning for school she freaked out and said "your not my mom blah blah I’m not gonna listen to you" Please help.

What do i have to do to get my mom to stop smoking? It’s really bothering me. She has been smoking for 5 years!! She just can’t quit i guess. Help Me!
Im not old enough to smoke though

My mom has smoked cigarettes for a very long time, and I cannot convince her to stop. I’ve tried giving her facts and statistics about smoking problems and diseases and how she is endangering me, and whenever I try to talk to her about it she says, "Don’t worry about it." And then if I try to lead on the conversation more, she will yell at me. The only other thing she answered me with is, "It’s too hard to quit." But she has never tried to quit before. I am sick of breathing smoke all the time, I’m sick of not being able to have friends over because they get headaches when they are at my house (many have told me), and I am sick of sitting here watching my mother suck on cancer sticks just wasting her life away, and endangering me and everyone else. She refuses to just smoke outside, and air purifiers are not an option. (They are too expensive) We are also not doing so good financially and she ignores the fact that that’s where all the money goes. Please help me.
Thanks for all the answers already, and I have given her facts and such but she just pushes me away and will not listen to me at all. I have ended up in tears trying to convince her but she cares about her cigarettes more. All I ask is for her to try and she isn’t at all. She didn’t stop when she was pregnant with me or my brother, and she almost lost me because I was born prematurely, but she still didn’t try.

I’m only an 11 year old girl, but I want to help my mom to stop smoking. My dad and 12-year old brother are also trying to help, but does anyone have any suggestions on helping us? She’s kinda cranky since she tryed to quit, but still sneaks a few puffs, any help?

This girl has been my best friend sense kinder-k. She is 15 right now and she just told me that she has been smoking. It hurts me to see her smoking because my mom has lung cancer from smoking and i cant stand to see her get lung cancer… How do i get her to stop. I already told her how i feltt…

My mom has been smoking ever since way before i was born and its way past time to stop. Is there any helpful tips to encourage her to quit and help her out?

My entire family needs my mom to stop smoking but she wont, yes i know that you can’t help someone that doesn’t want help, but that is not going to stop me from trying. So if you could help let me know.

How can you convince a mom, her boyfriend, and a 20 year old brother to stop smoking? How to make them realize how much damage they’re doing to the younger ones in the house? (14 and 12)

Please and thank you.

My mom has been smoking since she was young and I keep telling her she should quit. She always says that she will and that she know she needs to and she will soon, but I have never seen her try to quit in the 16 years I’ve lived. What can I do to convince her? I was thinking about printing out information about different ways to quit, but I have no idea where to start. Could someone help me out with that too? Please, help me if you can.

My mom smokes a lot and now she has "decided" to quit. But I want to know if there are any reactions she can get from it. For example she has been smoking 38 years and now she decided to quit. She used to smoke 2 boxes a day but then started smoking one a day and now none.

me and my boyfriend made a deal, that we were going to quit smoking.
his part is working, and he’s cut back to one cig a day.
and i want to quit so bad, but it’s hard.
please help me, because nothing i do seems to help.
i need one like every 10 minutes, and it’s not good.
i’ve been smoking for only 2-3 years,
but it’s sooo hard. :/
Also, my mom is the one who keeps buying me cartins of them, even when i tell her DONT GET ME ANY THIS WEEK. she still gets them and says " they will be here if you need them" and i don’t need them, i just want them.. i’ve tried to use the gum, and it didn’t work with me.. i’ve tried to quit so many times, but nothing is working for me.

My mom says that she needs to stop smoking. She is not puting the effort into it. I can’t think of any ways to help so it would be nice if someone has any tip or advice on how to get my mother to stop smoking.

I’m planning on quitting starting Aug 21st. My reason is so i can live longer for my child, plus he has asthma and i don’ t want the cigarette smoke in my clothes anymore when he breathes it in. Another reason is gas prices are so high now and between gas prices and buying cigarettes i spend at least -0 a month. This will be my first time ever doing this, i don’t even know how to quit or avoid the cravings. I really can’t afford the smoking cessation classes (don’t know if i spelled the word right lol) i just want to do it on my own. I already know that the nicotine gum won’t work because i already chew gum when i’m smoking a cigarette. Need advice please and thank you to all!
I have people that will support me, like my boyfriend (he wants me to quit also), co-workers, my mom said she’ll support me but she smokes too and i live with her, i know other family members will be willing to help me.

my mom is trying to stop smoking for at least the 4th time now, and she is having a lot of trouble doing so. she doesnt wasnt to buy anything or use any medication, expencive or not, but she doesnt know what to do. i just want to help her out and want to know how to do so, thanks.

My mom is getting tested for it so Im a bit worried, although, she doesnt smoke but shes been coughing a lot latley.
How likely are you to die form it if you dont smoke?

My granmother wants to smoke and is slowly killing herself which is tearing my mother up. So my mom yells at my gran, who gives in and has cut down the smoking dramatically. My gran is sick with COPD and can barely breathe.

I am a smoker who is trying to quit but when I am around my gran wants to smoke more. So everyone wants me to yell at her not to smoke but I don’t even like yelling. I have tried talking with her as an adult but there is real langauge barriers.

So whats the right choice?

My friend told me her dad just got a laser treatment to stop smoking, and he hasn’t picked up a cigarette since the day he got it. My mom is very adamant about quitting and I think this is a really good option if it works. Shes tried all the gums, pills and patches and nothing has worked. Can anyone help me out and tell me more about it, and how effictive it is?

My uncle just found out he has lung disease and that there is nothing they can do for him about it. He was really upset and everyone else started balling when they found out and my mom keeps crying over it so I am guessing it is really bad but I don’t know much about lung disease. Can anyone please help me? I want to know how long he has to live?
