How do i get my mum to stop smoking? -
my mums bin smoking 4 a long while now and i really dont like it.i think its discusting and wastes a lot of money.shes given up before but started smoking again because she was so stressed out but when she gave up the house didnt smell so bad and we was saving money.ive asked her a couple of times to stop smoking as its not healthy and i dont want her to die because of that but she wont listen :( what could i say to stop her if i snap up her fags she will go mad and just waste money buying moreA lot of parents will smoke even though their kids suffer from asthma and they are not interested in quitting.Sounds like your mum is not interested in quitting like lots of parents.
What you have to do is to move out as soon as you are financially capable of doing so or perhaps you could move in with a relative if you offer to help with housework and other chores. Perhaps grandparents might be an option as they often need help due to old age.
Your home situation is unlikely to change and you will only create more and more stress and friction if you try to change the situation.
Unfortunately parents can be a real problem and this is the real world.I agree that smoking is a disgusting habit. However, your mother is a grown woman, capable of making her own choices. As much as you may want to, you cannot, in fact, force her to quit smoking. The best route would be to harass her non-stop about how much you disapprove of her smoking, and offer her plenty of support in an attempt to quit. ( Maybe buy her patches, quit smoking gum, Ect ect )hmm, yea i was just gonna tell ya to snap/hide her fags. maybe like just sincerely beg her to stop or even better put on the waterworks. buy her some nicotine gum and/or patches.
but ultimately she is going to have to be the one that decides to quit, no matter what you do she will have to pitch in too.Tell her what you told us....it-s so sweet that you care for your mum so much.
Being there myself, an ex-smoker, it-s not easy as the nicotine in the cigarette is like a drug. Have faith that she will quit and she will do in time. Let her know that you respect her for tryingwell sounds like the same prob. i had with my mom, just tell her that ypu dont like it and she is not only messing up her life but yours to..tell her she is killing you as well..you can end up with cancer..
