How do I stop my dad from smoking.? -
Whenever my dad is annoyed or mad, he usually ends the problem by smoking and he-s around 50.He-s also the type of man who won-t listen to you even though the odds are on your side. He will never stop smoking if you talk to him, so don-t just say, talk to him because it won-t work (and I tried.)
I don-t want him to die yet from lung cancer so how do I make him stop?The thing is, you don-t -make- anyone do anything. If he wants to stop, he will. For being intelligent, some people can act SO stupid. That said, this is trite but true: you can lead a horse to water, but you can;t make it drink.Smoking is a bad habit that not only is harmful to them but is to everyone that is around them. There are countless harmful effects that smoking can bring on. If you would like to help your Dad quit smoking, then there are a few things that you can do. Remind him how nicotine is so addictive
Talk to him about the harmful effects that smoking has. Let him know that you care and do not want these things to happen to him. That-s important.
You can sympathize with him , and tell him that you will help in any way you can. People tend to get very defensive when you talk with them about smoking. Make sure to be understanding if he gets a little bit upset with you. I do wish you best!Short of telepathy, you have no other way of communicating other than talking to him.
You cannot tie him up and make him stop smocking.
I would suggest that you do thing like betting he cannot pack up, praise for when he tries to pack up, information about the health problems and also moral support from everyone he knows.
Say how proud you would be of him if he does it and, also give him confidence, say -You can do it, I know you can do it!-
Snow ManYou can-t make him stop. However, you can try mentioning how much you care about him and that you don-t want him to succumb to such an unhealthy deadly habit, so just keep reminding him you love him so much and that you want him around for for your kids, etc. You can never stop someone from doing something unless they stop themselves, especially if its an addiction.Smoking is so bad and a very bad habit. I hate it!
Sit down with him and tell him -Dad I love u so much, and I love being with you, but I can-t be with you if you smoke because it hurts me and my lungs. And Smoking when I-m not here doesn-t help this situation, because someday or even maybe tomorrow we might find out you have lung cancer, and you will die. And if you do not stop I can never be with you anymore or ever see you, because I do not want to get lung Cancer from your second hand smoke. If you love me you will stop if you don-t I can not be with you. I love you dad but I do not love your smoking. Which one do you love better?!Ok so one way you could go about this is to save up money, getting help from people who share the same interest in this situation, and pay for a quit smoking shot or something for him. If it is offered as a gift from people who care, then it would be selfish of your father to deny even trying! Also it you wouldn-t be too embarrassed, show him this page to help him realize how it effects you and how much you care, maybe it-ll pressure him into trying! But I-ve gotta be honest with you, at that age it is VERY hard to quit and the amount of quitters about the age of 30 is devastatingly smaller than below! Good luck!just try to encourage them that it would be in there best intrest to stop and that it would really help you out if they didn-t
most smokers are pretty hard headed when it comes to smoking so you have to stay calm when talking to them and not to raise your voice
and how down the line you don-t want to see them getting sick
this has helped to have my mom to quite
i hope it helps you
smoking is such a bad habit
my dad smoked since he was 13 and his 57 he just stoped last year after 43yrs of smoking. he tried many times before to stop but wasnt successful unitl he went to the doc and found out he had many health probs the doc told him he had to quit and put him on a pill called cyntax i think its spelled right. my experience with this is if he isnt ready to quit he wont. i smoked off and on for 4 yrs and i stop last yr because i didnt want my daughter to grow up seeing me with a cig in my hands.You can-t make him stop. My dad smoked even when my doctors said that it was destroying MY health. He didn-t care. Ultimately, it is his choice. The choice that YOU have is whether or not to be there when he-s smoking. For me, I had to tell my dad that I couldn-t allow him around my children if he was smoking. He chose not to smoke around them, but has been unable to quit.you cant. if he doesnt want to stop as much as you want him to stop then he wont stop. my aunt died of heart failure because she smoked for years and she always smoked when she was mad or annoyed also so i understand what you-re going through. my aunt was i think 54 when she passed. i always told my aunt the negative effects of smoking and she would just tune me out and change the subject. try to keep him from being annoyed or mad and see if that helps or throw all of his cigarettes away and hide all the ash trays if your desperate to make him stop. good luck(:Do you have any relatives that have died from lung cancer? If you do you could throw a picture in his face, and just tell him look do you want to end up like that? and see what he says. Another thing you could try is go online and look up a pictures of smokers lungs and have him look at it. I know you said that talking to him doesn-t work, but you should really let him know that if he cares about you, then he needs to care about himself, because if he keeps doing this he will not be around for youyou can-t make anyone do what they don-t want to do. just one time tell dad you would love for him to quit smoking because you fear that you will loose him a too young an age. If he starts to argue or scold. Just say no need to argue dad, just wanted to let you know how I feel. then you let it go and hope you got to his heart.get over it

Tell him that youll move across the country if he doesnt stop. Just say the NEXT time you see him smoking -I guess killing yourself is your only priority- or -No one wants to see you die dad I hope you know that- it might seem harsh but make sure he takes it to heart. oh and replace all his cigarettes with smoking pads and gum.That is a tough one. I know my husband picked it back up after he did quit awhile back.

Here is a good website and when you click it to the right there are tips to help him stop. Good luck to you. He really has to do it for himself and have a strong desire to do it for his family. Correction *Tips there for you to know how to support him.People won-t quit unless THEY want to ... both my parents smoked all through my childhood. My sister always begged them to quit, but it never did any good. The most we got was that my mother began smoking outside, after I complained someone had made fun of me at school for smelling like smoke. My father finally quit of his own volition about a year ago ... I-m very proud of him and I always tell him so. Honestly the best thing to do is praise the not smoking and ignore the smoking - oldest psychology trick in the book.When you see him just start thinking about the consequences and start to cry. (Loudly) and he-ll be like, what wrong, keep crying to build the concern, and just shout out- YOU! and he-ll be like, what??? and youll say i dont want you to die! and tell him to stop smokingYou can-t make him.
I know that-s not what you want to hear, but I tried to make my dad take car of himself and he wouldn-t do it either.
He died at 58. If your parent really wants to do bad addictive things there isn-t a damned thing you can do to make him stop.
I-m sorry.
ok my dad is the same exact way. im working on something. my dad relle cares about my health, he always makes me eat these fruits and wierd juices. so wat i did. i told him -i no dad u care about my health BUT care about urs!- so then i told him im never going to eat or drink ur juices until u stop smoking. its working, it takes a few weeks though. i no it is frustrating.This is a website that you should show to your dad so he can see the long term effects of smoking. Have him look at all the pictures and he will probably think twice before ever picking up a cigarette again. If you really love your dad then you will do everything you can to stop him from smoking before it-s too late. GOOD LUCK!!!

Your father is an adult who is free to make his own choices. You can try to get him to quit but it is ultimately he who must decide. Besides he might die in a car wreck or of a bran tumor or something else. No one knows how any one will die. We may all die in the coming third world war or greater depression. Hell I might start smoking cigs.you can-t help him if he don-t wants to .he need the nicotine to calm himself down .it is his life and he is 50 years old and unless he finds some other way to calm himself down then he will continue to smoke even if it is bad for him..oo. thats a hard question
maybe you can bring him to a like -stop smoking- seminar or something?
but i think the only way to quit is if that person makes a decision themselves to stop, with the support of family/friends etcyou cant stop him from smoking or make him stop; as far as -explain the consequences,- I-m sure he-s not some dummy who doesn-t know what can happen--he is smoking because he doesn-t care and wants to smoke. He-ll stop when he is good and ready.You can-t. Smoking is a chemically engineered addiction and unless your dad is willing to give it up on his own terms, he never will.Didn-t you ever hear the saying: -Cigarettes don-t kill people, people with cigarette addictions kill people.-?Tell your Dad how his smoking makes you feel and that you are hopeful that he will be able to quit with your full support before it causes his health to decline unnecessarily.If he-s been smoking for 15+ years he passed the point of no return. Make it seem as though you-re smoking through his influence.act like your interested in smoking. that wil make him think your looking up to him, and if he really cares about your health, he-ll stop.Pretend to be pissed off from worrying about him and walk around in your park for a day or so to make your dad worried.every time he smokes a cigarette, cut a slash across your wrist. then every night show him and say -this is what your smoking does to me-
