There is no way to make him stop smoking if he doesn-t want to, but you could always just sit down with him and talk to him about how you feel about his smoking. Every smoker knows the health risk so try to make it more of a personal issue than about his health. If this doesn-t work you can always resort to hiding and stealing his cigarettes!when he is ready he will do it for himself. but he can always use the encouragement from the people around him. sit him down and tell him how important he is to those that loves him vice versa. another thing let him watch videos and give him some written resources about the effect of smoking. you can also take him to a facility with people suffering from smoking side effects and maybe he will think twice before he lights up again.i used to be a smoker not a lot but enough to cause damages in the long run. i started my nursing school and the only thing that made me stop cold turkey is when i was caring for a patient suffering from copd, pneumonia, and heart problem related to smoking. i told myself i-m done.;the more you pester him..the worse you will make itYou can-t. I spent many years trying but unless someone is in the right frame of mind, there-s no way they can quit. Once they make the decision, you can support them in any and every way possible. I used to hide my dad-s cigarettes and throw them away, but he-d just get more. I tried guilting him. Nothing worked. BUT he eventually came around...after I moved out and got married and he hasn-t smoked since March. :-)That-s a tough one. He won-t quit just because you-re telling him. My husband didn-t quit until he was diagnosed with emphysema. That scared him enough so that he quit about a month after that diagnosis. Even though he quit smoking he got very sick about 7 years later.
If you could tell your father, in a sensible, caring way, that emphysema is a very, very uncomfortable way to end a life. And it-s not a quick way to die.
I hope this doesn-t upset you. You already know how unhealthy smoking is. I just mean to convey to your father the severity of what he may face in the future.
I truly wish you and your Dad well.Tell him about the harm of smoking and give him suggestions on how to quit smoking.
