How do you get someone to stop smoking?

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Bruce Townsend

My sister has recently taken up smoking within this past year and I have been trying to make her realize how much of a horrible habit it is. I have said everything I can from my knowledge but she still continues. What is something I can say to get her to stop smoking and so she can see it is not healthy. Thank you!

      What worked for a friend of mine was seeing his Grandma remove her ‘iron lung’ from her throat to hit a cigarette through the hole in her neck.

      This link is to some pics of lung damage.

      It’s good you want to help your sister, but remember you can’t really make someone do something. Somehow she’s got it in her head that it’s cool, maybe you can ask someone you know she respects to talk to her.

      Good Luck

      Take her to the doctor to get an x-ray of her lungs. She’ll get to see the damage that has already happened in her own body.

      She’s made her choice. If she didn’t want to be smoking, she would either have stopped or would want to quit.
