Asking your friend to stop smoking (People who smoke)? -
Guys who some I want to ask a question.I live in Canada and my friend smokes. My friend is 15 or 16 so he is not allowed legally. He is a male.
I want him to quiet. I haven’t tried asking him to quiet because I am scared how he will react.
So the people who smoke do you think it-s a good idea to ask and to tell him a solution. Like in the end tell him if this solution doesn’t work then he can keep smoking.
If I asked you guy as a friend, what would you say?
Oh and don-t tell me how it can be bad for him or provide him cancer and all the crap, just tell me what will his reaction will be and will he likely accept it.
Oh and he is a gangster type of person. Oh and I know him for a week. DO NOT tell me it’s not true friend ship or something.
Answer only what I asked for.Well from a personal stand point, I don-t think you two have shared enough personal experiences for your words to really phase him. I know it wouldn-t affect me to much.
My advice if you really care is to try to find the reason why he thinks he needs to smoke. DO NOT fill his head with that -its bad for you- and -cancer- trip because it never works. May be he needs an outlet and thats the way he vents stress.
If I was you I would just simply see why he finds it nessecary to smoke. Is he trying to impress someone? Is he stressed or depressed? Maybe he does it just for kicks. But just take the situation a friendly way and don-t get defensive with him. Keep in mind an addiction an addiction. Just gage his reaction with bring it up and base whether to continue the topic based on that.You can-t make someone quit smoking.If you try you will only make him mad and more determined to smoke.id prolly get denfensive and say f off. so send a strong message subtelly. how? idk. maybe fake ur death and pretend it was from smoking. wat bad idea, ok im not helping. ill get back to you.
ok im back. put a note on his pacck cigarettes saying something like ur a good frind and i really wish u would stop because i dont want you to keep hurting urself. then on an individual cigareet in side the box, write i guess you dont care. or so ur gonna do it anywayIf he is a gangster type, he probably enjoys shocking and rebelling against people. So telling him to stop will do the opposite.
I would just tell him not to smoke it around me, personally.
You could tell him or ask him to stop but most smokers react angrily. The fact is, it-s not easy to stop, so most will pretend they don-t want to stop anyway, because they fear they CAN-T quit.
At the end of the day, it-s his body. Let him do what he wants. But if you don-t want him to smoke around you then let it be known. It is your right to not smoke, even though he does.
