How do i get my sister to stop smoking? -

How do i get my sister to stop smoking? -

explain 2 her about lungs are going turn black and dieYou are very sweet to worry about your sister. You have every right to be as we all know the dangers of smoking.

Instead of giving her the -youre going to die - lecture ( which will only annoy her and she will stop listening)

Try telling her that it makes your skin look old. Smoking gives you wrinkles. Google it, try get a picture of a wrinkly person, tell her that-ll be her if she doesnt stop.

If that doesnt work, you have done all you can really. The truth is, the only person who can stop her smoking is herself. Maybe she is smoking to help her nerves. Maybe she has emotional issues she needs to address.
Anyway, I hope she gives up. Smoking kills. Its already killed my aunty through breast cancer.
Oh ive had an idea. You can print off all these answers and leave it in her room :D
ok well, good luckPrivately,give her an assortment of stop-smoking aids.(patches,pills,lozenges,pamphlets) Also,talk with her.

List of things to
talk about:
her health and why you-re concerned about it
ways both of you can help her stopage of your sister is important. U should to be firend with her. and say about bads of smoking and ask her opinion about smoking and help her if she want to stop. if she dont want to stop it u can speak with another people and ask them to help u and speak with her ( for example her firends and peoples she likes them)ask her to quitIntervention is the only option you have. The choise to quit smoking has to come from here.Your sister is a lost cause. Just shoot her.

Kidding. It-s very hard to convince smokers to quit though, it-s almost as addictive as heroin. If you-re serious about convincing her to quit, I would try sitting down and talking to her first, then possibly buying her a box of patches or nicorette gum for her to use to show that you-re serious.

Smoking cessation; nicotine gum? -

i always thought nicotine keeps you addicted to smoking, but the tar is what is a danger to your health. now i hear nicotine causes damage to lungs also. does anyone know if this happens only when inhaled, or would the nicotine in the stop smoking gum also damage lungs? i have been using the gum to not smoke (haven-t smoked in 9 months, still addicted to the gum) my lungs are worst than when i smoked!I don-t know the answer to whether nicotine damages you or not. It is a strong poison, so the chance is good that it does. If you have gone 9 months without smoking, you are free of the smoking addiction and your lungs are probably looking great. However, you are NOT free of the nicotine addiction. It-s not as hard as you think to free yourself of this. Actually, it-s easy. Read the book, -Easy Way to Quit- by Allen Carr. It worked for me. And you don-t even have to stop the nicotine until you have actually finished the book. The book helps a person get rid of all the brainwashing that makes us believe its difficult to stop smoking. That brainwashing is the reason people fail to stop sometimes.
If I can do it, you certainly can!No the gum does not hurt your lungs, however it is not good to be addicted to it either. Use patches to get off gum.
