How to stop Smoking? -
my old friend has issues with smoking, she won-t stop. She has smoked since I-ve known her in the mid 9oS. I am WORRIED about the side effects of smoking and what it can do to her. She-s my son-t mother also. I DON-T want her to DIE from smoking and leave me and our son by our selves. II have tried to talk to her to quit but it-s NO use, what can I do.Keep putting a picture of your son in the plastic of her pack... I had a friends that did that with me, she kept putting pics of my kids in my packs and that got me to stop cold turkey.maybe she-ll realize like I did, that my kids and your son, need us around to watch and help them grow up to become good kids and even better adults.tell her to eat mints everytime she needs a smoke, my dad quit by dipping, or take her to a place that has them people with a hole in their throat and i know how u feel kinda my uncle died a couple of months ago form lung cancer it was to late to cureAlan Carr-s -The Easy Way to Stop Smoking- is great for anyone who desires to quit.
For someone who doesn-t, only death will end it.
All I can suggest is to lovingly keep her aware that it is not good for her or your son (second-hand smoke is very bad), and it would be best for everyone if she were to quit. There is a fine line between reminding and nagging. Don-t nag.just buy her this book. (best $15 you-ll ever spend)

pass this link to your smoking friendsYou probably cannot convince her to stop. A smoker has to want to quit smoking to quit. All the patches, gums, etc will not work until you get the mindset that you are going to stop. I am fighting the same battle with my husband. It is not easy. My worrying and crying is not helping either. The best I can say to you is have a sit down with you, your son and his mom. Tell her how much you love her, tell her much you need her, tell her how hard it would be to live without her. Try to get her to make an appointment with her doctor as their are new drugs now that help you stop with going into nicotine withdrawal as bad.
If she smokes around you and your son too remind her that she may be killing the two of you and well as herself. Second hand smoke kills-make her believe it.
I hopes this helps, I really do....
