how to get your parents to stop smoking?

they aren't going to stop smoking until they decide it is time and they are ready to do it but I would talk to them and let them know you worry about their health and yours (being around it) and see if there can be some kind of agreement made. (only smoke outside, not in the car, etc.)

Yes my dad keeps smoking. Ok well at Wal-mart there is a place where it has smoking stuff,then you can find this gum and give it to your mom or dad and make them stop smoking.

Or.......

It's not easy to quit smoking. The nicotine in cigarettes is addicting. Your body craves it because it makes you feel good.

So when you try to stop smoking, you go through nicotine withdrawal. You feel awful, and you may worry about gaining weight. You get cranky and anxious. It can be hard to sleep.

You're not the only one. Most people feel bad when they try to quit. The hardest part is not reaching for a smoke to feel better. Use the tips in this Actionset to help you cope. The information also applies if you use chew or snuff.

Key points

•Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are worst within the first few days after you quit. They may last a few weeks. Some people crave cigarettes for months.

•Medicines can help you feel better and make it more likely that you won't start smoking again.

•Exercise, healthy eating, counseling, and support groups also may help.

Talk with your doctor

If you have questions about this information, print it out and take it with you when you visit your doctor. You may want to mark areas or make notes in the margins where you have questions.

Start smoking. Then they'll see what a bad influence they are. Therefore you should start smoking in front of them, although only do this once, because I don't want you to get addicted. If that doesn't work, sit them down and tell them that you want them to stop. If that doesn't work your parents are scum and you should go to college and never worry about them again.

Make a deal with them. Tell them that you'll stop your bad habit, whatever it may be, and they've got to stop smoking. Or tell them you'll do something you don't normally do in exchange for them to stop smoking.

when i was little my parents smoked. one day i came home from school and was like "daddy, a kid at school told me you were gonna die cause you smoke..(i started crying)..and i dont want u to go away from me forever" he quit cold turkey. make them feel bad about it. guilt them into quitting. maybe do some research and find pictures of peoples lungs and stories of things. remember its hard to quit and nt averyone can cut cold turkey. it takes time. maybe suggest cutting down from 1 pack a day to 5 sigs a day. good luck!

go to them and cry and beg them to stop because u dnt want them to die ...tell them one of ur friends mom or dad is in the hospital from smokking and stuff. tell thtthe disadvantages of smoking + if they dnt stop tell them u'll will also carryt this bad habibt and die earlier ! thank god that none of my family skmokes !

As a serious joke, you could light up a cigarrette in front of them....and take a puff/don't inhale. I'm sure the reactions on their face will be priceless, but then you can get your point across.

use their cigarettes and take their money
