I have a very talented person in my family that is a nurse,
to scare me and my sybling out of never smoking ( not like we ever ever ever in a million years plan on doing that) she showed us a slid show of awful pictures of people like 5-10 years into smoking process. We were already creeped by that then she showed us more.. worse pictures of results from smoking. Explain to them that its there choice but awful outcomes to the smoking, explain to them affects that happen from smoking.. shorter life span, huge chance of lung cancer etc. Get research because you dont want to give false info. I hope who ever you are trying to confince, belives its the worse thing. I am happy you are trying to help this person or people. You will have a good, fortunate life.. for helping these people. Good LUCK!!!
I don’t think you can get someone to stop smoking for long ! They may stop for awhile ( for you ) … but until they are ready to stop naturally , I don’t think you can ………… Smoking is caused by stress ( I think ) ….
You could fight fire with fire, literally. What if you let them think that they were being a negative influence on you? Instead of fighting with them about it, why not start acting interested in learning all about smoking from them. Ask them how good it tastes and feels to smoke. Act fine with their smoking and fool them into thinking that you are going to take up smoking because of them.
If they know how bad it really is to smoke, then they might decide it’s time to quit before they influence you to smoke.
