How do you change a person from bad habit, e.g. smoking, when she does not want you to know she's into it?

Question

How can you change a person if she herself does not want you to know she's into smoking habit, she's hiding it from you, but you want to change her to help her from future problem of lung cancer, etc.

Answer 1

You can't, whether she wants you to know or not. It's her choice.

Answer 2

try to read its disadvantages infront of her loudly from some source...like net or book....

talk about it while u sit with ur family...... she'll probably understand...

Answer 3

It's hard changing what a person is into because only themselves have the willpower to change. But if you can, show them what they could be losing if they keep on smoking. Show them nasty pictures of what smoking can do to their heart & lungs. Just remember it's not like you can hide all the cigarettes in the world from them so it's there choice. It's nice that you care, you're a great friend/family member.
