How to convince my mom to quit smoking?
July 26th, 2011
Hey Guys!** I really need help! My Mom has been smoking for atleast 4 years, possibly longer- she hid it for a while. Anyways, shes leading a really unhealthy life and I want her to be around for all my big events in my future : like my graduation(college , possibly even highschool) and like my wedding- in the future. I want her to be around for her future grandchild.
I try telling her how shes harming herself and us. Shes harming our whole family by smoking. And my sister recently gave birth so now thats a little baby running around our house- which my mom smokes in- she never smokes in the house when the baby is there but she goes outside then STINKS when she comes back in!! She smells nasty!! Her health is bad!! So pleae give me some more things I could tell her or show her or do. Thanks in advance!!

tell her you will run away if she doesn’t.
let her do what she wants shes a grown women already.
Lace the cigarettes with PCP and then whan you’re mother has a bad trip she’ll blame it on the smokes and never smoke again.
Tell her there is no after life when she kills her self. God, the devil and the after life is fake
tell her that every time u smoke you lose 10 mins of life time and if she has been smoking for 4 years… well u do the math
ps get her some patchs that cant hurt
ask her to place a family pic inside the cellophane wrapper around her cigarrette package …… then every time she has urge to light up, she will she the ones her habit is truly hurting.
Hopefully Santa will leave her some Nicorette gum and “The Patch” in her stocking
good luck getting her to go smoke free
make her see a doctor or show her how her lungs look like when she smokes
or tell her how much shes wasting her money on cigarettes
but if she doesn’t listen to u then mayb ask a doctor to explain patients should always listen to there doctors
You can’t convince her. Believe me, I tried to get my own mother to stop smoking aeons ago. The only person to help someone in this case, is themself.
My mother quit smoking nearly 10 years ago because me and my brothers kept nagging her then she eventually got the patch. So my advice is to keep nagging her and try to get her friends to help.
You can’t make her. She has to want to do it on her own. I have a similar prob w/ my bf – I want him to quit chewing tobacco – especially for our son’s sake – he’d be devastated & confused if his daddy was gone, he needs him, he looks up to him, he even said he wants to be a Daddy when he grows up. Don’t nag her about it, just tell her how u feel & how sad everyone would be if she wasn’t around any more. It would be an awful thing to see someone dieing of cancer, does she relize that? All we can do is hope that they’ll relize it’s bad & want to change.
Go to http://www.smokingstopshere.com for some ideas. Write your mom a nice letter and include everything you wrote here. You could save her life and everyone else who has to breathe her second hand smoke.
I tried to get my sister in law to stop smoking but she laughed at me. Now she has emphysema and has to have an oxygen tank with her at all times, and she’s had a double mastectomy. She is more dead than alive.
1. Show her this post
2. Download the ‘truth’ comercials online.
3. Write her a letter about how and why you need her around and healthy.
Your mom has to want to quit smoking. And sad to say it, but she probably started smoking for a reason.
If you find out the reason, start working on solving that first and in resolving it, she may find the strength to quit.
Steal her cigs and throw them out.
call you local hospital for free classes on quitting..AND GO TO THE CLASSES WITH HER! my mom just stopped after 30 years! bust she said the more we pushed her the more she smoke….that seems to be a common thing i hear. try and get her to go to the classes…and support her through it!pray!
Take her to a Cancer Center. Where they give patients chemo for their various cancers. And have a patient explain to her the side effects of chemo.
Unfortunately asking someone to quit smoking is a waste of time. A smoker has to want to quit, and be good and ready to quit. Unless the smoker is in the proper mindset of quiting forever, patches, gum, laser therapy, hypnosis, ultimatums, guilt trips or any other form of smoking cessation will not work.
You have already been honest with your mother and told her how she is harming you and the rest of her familyby smoking, but the bottom line is that she has still not quit. You may have accept and put up with her smoking until she’s good and ready to quit by herself and on her own terms.
you can’t make your mom stop smoking, she has to do it on her own. But you can let her know how you feel about it and how you worry for her health, that you want her around for a long time. Tell her even though she goes out to smoke the smell is still on her and it stinks anyway. Remind her of her health not being too good now and what is going to happen in the next fee years if she doesn’t stop. I was on three packs a day when I quit seven years ago, it was a terrible habit and I knew it wasn’t good for me. Now my daughter has stopped for a month and she says that she feels much better and will never start back again. With the money she saves she bought herself a nice new outfit.
just tel her how u el, it made my mum stopped smoking
well get her to make you here sole benefactor then remember there is nothing you can do to make her quit. it is her choice. i would also lay down some ground rules if she is visiting your home and smoking tell her it is unacceptable and she needs to leave if your at her home and she lights up you go. she will get angry but she will at least know that you feel this is bad for others around her.
