How can I get my Dad to stop Smoking? -
My dad has been a smoker for a while now, and it is taking a toll on his health.I wanted to create a -kit- that I could give him, but I only have one idea to put in it. I want to get a big clear jar and paste a sticker on it that says -CIGARETTE MONEY- so that every time he wants to go buy a pack, the money goes in the jar so he can save a lot each week.
Any other ideas of things I can put in this kit??Yes.
Gum- It keeps his mouth busy chewing, and also he won-t want to ruin the good taste in his mouth.
Stress balls- so that he isn-t tempted to light up when he gets strung out.
When he craves cigarettes take a walk with him or play a game of cards.
You also need to give him alot of support. That-s what he needs
The jar is a good idea, and with the money he saves you guys could go out to dinner.
If he is really serious get him nicorette patchesno other ideas, but just warning you, if he doesn-t want to quit, he won-t. I had the same issue with my grandmother, I tried forever to get her to quit, but she never would, so finally I just gave up. If he won-t try on his own, tag along to a doctors appointment and ask the doctor to talk to him about it, or call the doctor and ask him to talk to him about it at his next appointment.There is no way...my dad has been smoking for all my life and has tried to quit over a hundred times. He has to want to stop and trust me the kit is not going to work.
