Whats a good way to get ur parents to stop smoking? -
my parents have smoked for as long as i can remember, and i getting sick of itive told them what the effects are and ive told them to stop with meds. but it obviessly(cant spell) isnt working.
i just want to not have to smell like smoke, which is a huge turn off to girls. even when i try to not be around them when they smoke i still smell like it....
i just want them to be healthier. and im worried abput my mom becuase shes always sick from tiny things and she cans taste and smell. i want to be healtheir too...
i also just found out i have Synaesthesia which is kinda annoying, but it has nothing to do with smoking.let your parents stop little by little until they can stoptalk to close family members or close family friends. maybe they can help you.
give them mints, Halls.
give them something to do, so they won-t smoke.I GOT MY PARENTS TO QUIT--this is how you do it. For them to think about quitting you need to shock them. Telling them its unhealthy and getting lung cancer doesnt work...Go to google images and type in lung cancer, and email them or show them pictures of people on oxygen etc. gruesome photos get to your head. If that gets their attention go to the store and my them so nicorette gum and tell them to atleast try it. It will get rid of the urge and hopefully by then they-ll be motivated to quit. Everybody has a switch inside them to quit, you just gotta know how to get to it.Tell them EXCATLY what you just wrote! ALso if they respect youa dn stuff they will alteast try!! :) Good Luck!It-s really hard to convince a person to stop smoking. If they-re not giving in now, they probably wont give in for while either.
Try reverse-phychology. I know it-ll probably sound disgusting to you but smoke a cigarette in front of them. See it they like that. After all, they-re supposed to be your -role models- aren-t they?Although smoking is annoying, unhealthy, and smelly, it can be relief from stress or serious emotion. Nothing you can do will make your parents stop, but next time, ask them why they do it and see if it helps.Your parents ARE the adults-THEY pay the mortgage, the utilities, and for YOUR food and clothing. And you want to tell THEM what to do? It doesn-t work that way. And you have NO idea how very hard it is to quit, even when it is affecting your health. People even smoke when they have to have oxygen cos they ruined their lungs from smoking! As a smoker, I find it relaxes me, helps me unstress from the daily bs of life. You think your clothes smell of smoke? You-re obviously old enuff to like the girls-how about you-re old enuff to do your own laundry when you think it reeks of your parents- cigarette smoke?
Don-t be so -holier than thou-.. So your parents smoke-would you rather they not smoke, but be out robbing banks instead???? Everyone has their faults-when you-re perfect, working, - paying your own bills, THEN you can refuse permission to smoke in YOUR home-but since you live in your parents- home, you-ll just have to deal with it.Try walking around the house with an UNLIT cigarette in your mouth. When asked why?? by a parent. Answer I just want to know what the attraction is. Thought I might try it.pretend like you are smoking a cigarette in front of them, watch them get surprised, then tell them if they don-t want their kid to smoke, then they should stop smoking.My brother and I used to flush our parents smokes down the toilet. With smokes so expensive and them being on a fixed income, they soon quit buying them.
Good luck.
