How can i get my mum to stop smoking? -
i-m a kid and my mum smokes a lot and i really want her to quit, but i don-t know how to make her. help!thanks :)You cannot make someone do something that they do not want to do. All you can do is keep reminding her that she is shortening her life and you want her around for graduations, marriage, children, etc. and if she keeps smoking, she won-t be there. You have to keep this personal, not what is best for her, otherwise she will just tune you out. Also, stopping smoking is very, very hard for most people. They need the assistance of their physician, some medication and taking a stop-smoking class in order to be successful. Someday, maybe she will be ready.You could try recommending nicotine patches, gum, lozenges or inhalers which will assist with cutting back and then quitting altogether. You can buy the patches etc from your pharmacy. It might also be a good idea if you found some educational books/magazine on the effects of smoking and what it does to your lungs and drop hints so she will have a look. It takes a long time to break the habit, and only your mum can make that final decision.she can-t smoke if she doesn-t HAVE any smokes...
take them away.
but if u wanna be less rash, sit her down and tell her how much it bothers you, MAKE her understand and come to an agreement. Smoking is extremely unhealthy for both the smoker and those around them, particularly children; but you knew that already ;-)i should just keep pestering her to like when u wont something (also maby try removing like a couple of smokes out of her packet so she has less to smoke) but be carefull dont get caughtYou dont.
