my dad is always smoking what should i do to get him to stop smoking should i hide his cigerates?

You can’t stop someone from smoking. It is something they have to decide on their own. It takes a lot of will power and you have to have your mind set to it. They have to do it for themselves and not anyone else. The best thing you could do is support him if he decides to quit. I went to the Doctor to see what it takes to quit and he told me I would have to be away from all cigarettes, smokers and ash trays for at least 10 days (if it was cold turkey). The patch really worked for me sister, but it was still really hard for her. She just wanted to quit soooo bad that she made it through. Cigarettes are just as addicting as heroin.

how do you tell someone to stop smoking pot in a mean way ?
that will upset them.

"bro let me hit that bud" take and run like hell…..

She’s been smoking for about 5 years now and I really want her to stop smoking. She’s not a alcoholic,hooker etc. She’s a hard-working, Loving mother and I really want her to stop smoking. I’ve tried stopping her from leaving but she’d just get mad and give in. I offer to bring her to the doctors but she won’t listen. Any tips? Thanks.

try to make her understand that the feeling may feel great, but the effects are not. its hard quitting cigarettes though, trust me you would know cause we know each other lol. try convincing your mom to replace the smoking habit with something else – it could be from drinking more tea, to knitting, etc. i replaced smoking with sprite and that got me quitting after like a month.

if i had a homie who smoked, i would be like who the fuck is gonna be my best man . but since shes your mom and been smoking for 5 years tell her you need her in your life longer, and if she smokes your wedding might never happen. know what i mean?

try getting your aunt,uncle, step dad etc to talk to her with you.
look for a few websites and show her the bad things bout smoking and reason why to quit.

I started a new job a month ago. I was so happy because I finally got decent pay and health insurance. Unfortunately, this was too good to be true. One of my coworkers smokes in the office. I have asthma and am allergic to cigarette smoke. Everytime she lights one up, I start smothering. I told my boss in person about my health condition and all he said he’d do is put up automatic door closers on the doors around her (she smokes in the doorway of the building so she can stay by the phone). Well, about 2 or 3 weeks went by, and he’d still not put anything up. I decided to email him and tell him again. I asked him if he could ban smoking indoors completely. Well, finally he decides to put those automatic door closers on there. But guess what, she props her door open! It’s terrible!

Anyway, have any of you dealt with smokers at work. How do you get someone to stop. The bad thing is, my boss is a smoker too! So he doesn’t care! If they don’t stop, I’m going to have to find another job!
Well, about speaking to her directly. She can be very mean. She was very ugly to me at first, and then someone talked to her for me, and now she’s nice. I don’t know how she’d react if I told her to stop.
The reason she smokes in the doorway is because she’s a dispatcher. If she goes outside completely, she’ll miss a call or something on the radio.
I did talk to my boss. He’s a smoker as well and does not care about my condition. Also, if I cause a big stink about this, everyone is going to dislike me because the majority of people there seem to smoke. The other non-smokers are medics and get to get away. I’m an office person and always have to be there. Eh, it sucks.

Well most of the time smokers are the majority so the only way you can combat it is to sit down with your boss and have a serious conversation about your medical problem, but before you do, make sure you are serious about it. Dont talk to him if it "bothers" or "annoys" you. Talk to him if your health is at serious risk.

Also, make sure you are creating a paper trail. Keep those emails and make copies. Check out your local laws. You could probably sue the living hell out of these people. There isnt supposed to be smoking in the workplace, its probably against building codes or something, i dont know. It just depends on your area.

I am almost 7 months pregnant, and I have tried many times to stop smoking. I am attempting once more. I get alot of pressure from my fiancee who also smokes. Also, he seems unwilling to even try to support me through this. My "friends" still light up right in fromt of me, to the fact where I have to leave the room just to not be around the smoke. Isit even possible to quit with all this going on? Any suggestions?

My husband went to a hypnotist. It actually worked.
