How do i get my daughter to stop smoking? -

How do i get my daughter to stop smoking? -

my daughter Veronica has been smoking since she was 18 (she is 22 now) and she never listens to me when i tell her to stop because it unhealthy and disgusting, how to i get her to listen to me and stop?

i have 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy) and she is the only one who smokes and i know her siblings dont like it either (ages 24, 20 and 20)have her add up how much she spends on cigarettes a year...you-d be shocked!get one of her packs of cigarettes, and lace it with something that will giver her a bad trip... she-ll stop smoking after one or two of those.i think she-s old enough to make her own decisionsHow Honest is your Daughter ?? Do you think you can Bribe Her into Quitting ??! If SO, try THIS: Assuming that she can Use the Money (- who CAN-T- these days), tell her that you-ll GIVE Her $100 (or whatever You can afford- that she-ll -go for-) for Christmas- IF shes COMPLETELY QUIT Smoking BY Christmas !!! [Maybe you can get your other Daughters to -chip in- to sweeten the Pot- !]. That-s 6 weeks from now- - plenty of time for her to -pull it off-- if she sets her Mind to it. WhatEVER amount You decide to -bribe- her with, it will STILL be one of the BEST -investments- -you-ll Ever make !!! Good luck! :)well you could talk to her about it but if she is hard up on smoking take a look at this

I-m a smoker as well and have been trying to quit then i found that site and if i could get the nicotine craving without getting all the bad stuff i would much rather do that.well u sound like my mom, she doesnt like that i smoke and has tried to get me to quit for a long time, i am now tryin to quit but it isnt cause of anything that my mom tried to do to get me to quit.... i just finally made the decesion that it wasnt worth it my gpa had open heart surgery a year ago and was told never to smoke again or he would have more problems and possibly die, now he has to go have a heart catherization tommorow cause there is more blockage and he is still smokin i dont want to end up like that, plus i had a gma that died of lung cancer so it just was something that i had to decide on my own.... good luck!!!!As a daughter of a mother who didn-t want me to smoke, there was nothing she could say or do to make me stop. I did stop on my own though (multiple times) due to asthma. I don-t know if she lives with you, but I was never allowed to smoke in the house, etc. I had to go outside. Come winter and the freezing cold (or rain, etc) I definitely cut back!
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is tell her that when she is ready, you-ll support her in her effort to quit. I have to say though, with the price of cigarettes, I don-t know how people afford them!There really isn-t anything you can do, except give her support if she herself tries to stop.
