How do I stop my father from smoking?

Question

My father is 48 years old and he smokes 1-3 cigarettes a day, I'm really worried about heart problems that he might get and I want him to live as long as possible, what can I do to help him stop?

Answer 1

my husband used to smoke  since he was in his teens (he's now 44) and we tried our best to let him stop smoking but he never did mind us..until one day, he himself surrendered maybe bacause he felt something really different inside him..he coughs really hard and told me his chest was really painful when he coughs..since then he never did smoke again....no one can stop a cigarette addict but himself...

Answer 2

Although it would be better to have none 1-3 is not many. The truth is you cant make a person do or stop doing something all you can do is express your concerns.

Answer 3

glue all of his cigeratte packs together

Answer 4

Its good that you are worried, but at least he is not a pack a day smoker.

My Hubby stopped smoking after we visited someone in hospital and they are in the emphysema ward.  A patient told him his life story and how because of smoking he has been in and out of hospital for the last 15 years.

Answer 5

take him to the hospital and c sokers to tell him wat h**l ebcome if he doesnt quit  

Answer 6

He cant just stop smoking in one day but he can reduce the number of cigarettes the smokes.

DAY1: -1

DAY4: -1

DAY6: -2

DAY8: -2

DAY10:0(CONGRATS HE WILL NOT SMOKE ANYMORE)

Answer 7

1-3 a day? Oh please. My father was a 3 pack a day smoker for years. You know what? He's 64 now, still smoking a pack a day, and never had a smoking related illness. Just leave your pop alone. If anything, you'll stress him into smoking more, by bugging him about his smoking.

If my sister and I would've pestered my father about his smoking when we were younger, we would have got the belt. We respected our parents and their decisions. You should too.
