I have read the statistics of smoking cigarettes, but realize that people who smoke have to quit on their own. My friend is about to become a dad and am worried about his health and how it will effect the baby, even though he smokes outside, away from everybody around him. He’s tried to quit but can’t. I know it is difficult but how can I get him to realize that he should stop smoking?

There is nothing you can do. The person has to want to quit before you can help
Tell him that he not only endangers himself but also his family. Besides, what if he gets lung cancer or has a sudden heart attack as a result of his smoking habit?
What if he is the only breadwinner and he dies from throat cancer or coronary heart disease? Does he realize what will happen to his family and especially his child then?
You should make him be aware of the consequences because this is not only about him.
In addition, one of the effects of smoking is cancer due to inhalation of second hand smoke. His loved ones and others may develop cancer of the lungs when they passively inhale his cigarette smoke.

There is no point in telling a smoker that it is bad for them or what the consequences are, they already know. What you should be telling them is that quitting smoking is easy. The one thing that holds a smoker back from quitting or believing that they can quit is the fear that it is going to be difficult and their little nicotine demon is telling them that all the time.
Get some positive leaflets or magazine articles for him to read. Buy him Allen Carrs Easyway book, that changed my attitude to quitting completely. Leave him to read them in his own time. The problem with the whole quit smoking industry is the majority of messages are negative which has a matching impact on the mind of the smoker who is already in the grip of fear of quitting.
The key is to show him, carefully that quitting can be easy then at least he may have a go. I did it 5 months ago after 29 years of smoking, I found it very easy and now I enjoy encouraging everyone I can to quit.
Very informative content. I appreciated reading it and will stop by again to look at any new articles you might have composed. How frequently do you try to update your webpage?
