How can you get someone to stop smoking?

My mother has been smoking for many years and she has tied multiple times to quit. She just recently tried for 5 days without smoking but ended up doing it anyway. It seems the patches only work for like a day and the gum does not work. She doesn’t seem to respond to anything. I really hope someone has some kind of answer cause i’d like my mom to be around to see me get through college and to get married one day but im afraid that just may not happen if she keeps smoking. So anything will help! thanks.

    You can’t make anyone else quit a DRUG HABIT.. if she is such a loser she can’t give up her DRUG FIX.. then she is going to continue smoking until it kills her.

    Hypnosis works well for some people. Be sure to get someone well known for smoking cessation hypnosis, because quite a bit of the success depends on the skills of the hypnotist. Most practicing hypnotists are psychologists or physicians, though there are good, legitimate hypnotists that are not either of these.

    There used to be cruises for people trying to quit smoking. I don’t know if that would help your mom once she got home, though.

    I think it’s really a simple thing of mind over matter. Cigarettes are very hard to quit – harder than many might think. They are legal, and because of that, they’re easy to obtain.

    In my opinion, if your mother wants to quit, sne needs to break her psychological dependence on smoking. I’ve seen many simply put their cigarettes down and never go back, because they put their mind to not smoking anymore.
