How to stop my daughter smoking? -
i have just caught my daughter smoking for the second time!i am so mad!!
myself and my husband are both ex smokers... we stopped smoking 5 years ago.. we don-t let any one smoke in our home or even in our garden.. .. we are the biggest anti-smokers you could meet.
my daughter is 15 and i don-t know how to stop her smoking...
i have sat with her and had lenghtey conversations about the health implications, cost, smell, everything you can think of I-ve said it...
we have stopped giving her money so she cant buy them... i only just found out when i overheard a telephone conversation with one of her friends... she was saying how nice chloe was at school cos on the way home she bought a box of 20 and gave her 3... she tried to deny it saying they were for someone else... im sure my daughter thinks i was born 37! i immediately took them from her school bag and crushed them... then smelt her fingers... they stank of nicotine.. so does her breath... because im an ex smoker.. i can smell nicotine a mile away..
i really need advice!!you have already stepped in, so you have already done your part to be a good parent. unfortunately, there-s not much else you can do. love her, support her, but don-t support her habit. a good idea might to be to let her know now you-ll support her efforts of quitting (with patches, gum?), which might happen once she realizes what she-s doing to herself.She-s at that age, where the more you discourage her from smoking, the more she is likely to continue. She will sneak around more if she has to. The best thing to do, is to let her, and hope she gets it out of her system. You and your husband quit, I-m sure she will too. Threatening her won-t stop her though. You-ll only alienate her more, and you might lose her. Is that what you want?
phone the local hospital or funeral directers and ask them to help u to let ur daughter see a diseased lung after someone died from smoking, i know that would make me stop smoking and it stopped my grandad after he smoked 60 a day for years, either that or u could ask the hospital to let u visit the cancer ward with her to show her the pain and suffering u go thru when u have lung cancerThe first thing to do is -NOT- get angry when you talk to her... On your time out with her.try and persuade her to give up...Tell her and show her that it causes all sorts of illnesses in later life, and its not fare for you to be looking after her when she falls ill...Repeat this at every opportunity you have when you are with her at a relaxed time, like having coffee when shopping. Don-t give up on her, but stay calm... You can only hope then that she sees sense and stops...I would make arangements to visit a lung cancer ward or get a tour of the human art show that features the human body -peeled back- to reveal your insides...I-m sure they have one with lung cancer...or fill every nook and cranny with color photos of diseased lungs....not a pretty site...I also like the make her smoke till she pukes idea that someone suggested on here...Get the ******* belt out. show her who-s boss...lol jokes. Just tell her you won-t love her, or get a bag of kittens, tell her to chose between what gets crushed the ciggies of the kitties...that should straighten her out!I used to smoke. I tried everything. Finally, I found this natural spray that helped me stop smoking. I bought it from the link below. Good Luck!Send her dumbass somewhere. Why the hell do teens need to smoke? I mean, their so dumb these days. Getting high for no ****? Yeah right. You-re daughter lacks the skills she needs.Kids are motivated by cash I knew someone who smoked and gave up so she didn-t waste money.
Tell her to stay in for a week and ween her off them give her gum.Sit her down, give her a packet of cigarettes and force her to smoke the whole lot. It won-t hurt her but she-ll feel so sick it should put her off.Your local Hospital will lend you a diseased lung from a person who died from smoking. Drastic but effective.Get a whole pack of cigarettes and make her smoke them all without a break, then if shes ok get some and put them in a sandwich of bread and make her eat themEven though you and your husband quit, kids learn from watching their parents. Maybe you should have quit sooner.seriously that works with so many people make her smoke a 20 deck.Its not what you say to your daughter though, she isn-t exactly going to listen to you, when she knows you smoked when you was younger. Maybe it is a bit hypocritical of you to do this. She will quit when she wants to quit, at the moment she is enjoying smoking, i don-t think you should be forcing her to do things, as you said you are her parent and parents want the best for their children, but this decision is up to her. And you certainly shouldn-t be listening to her phone calls. Im 16 i smoke and my mum smoked when she was younger, i have endless chats with my mum about smoking and what it does to your health. And yet im still smoking. Do you really want your daughter to lie to you saying she has quit? Because that might happen. If i had a daughter i would rather her tell me that she smoked than lying. Let her to what she wants, she is old enough to make her choices, at the end of the day its her life.there is nothing you can do! i was the same at her age! my parents caught me and did everything they could to stop me but i still smoke to this day! i really want to give up now and wish i had when my parents caught me! i would do anything i could to get a cigarette back then! if her friends smoke then she will get them from her mates! you have to let her make her own mistakes! the more you push for her to give up the more she will do to carry on.Your just doing what you think is best for her, i-m sure she sees that and appreciates it. But then again she may think you are trying to control her. Just try to understand things from her point of view, she probably thinks that you have no right to try and make her stop when you smoked. But i can understand that you are trying to stop her from making the same mistakes that you did - I-m sure she could do without the lung cancer and serious health problems that all the toxic chemicals in cigarettes cause. Research all the things that are actually used in cigarettes and make her a list - the future health problems will not be worth it.
Good luck and hope she thanks you later in life! XI used to smoke. Im 19...
But my mum didn-t know.
I quit 6 months ago and my bf did too. It-s been really good.
Basically, I did this to myself -
There was a test I remember seeing in primary school as to -How much tar goes into your lungs when you smoke-.
If you catch her smoking again, get a sheet of cotton wool and tell her to take a pull, not -take it down- and then simply breathe it deep into the cotton wool.
There-ll be a black sticky coating on the wool where the tar-s been caught.
That freeked me out and I had to finish it.
I told my bf to do it and he was visibly freeked.
He insisted on finishing his packet over the week, mind you, but we-ve been doing so well.Hypocrite.She is making her own decisions. Do you tell her what color underwear to put on in the morning?
