Can you make a person who doesnt want to quit smoking quit? -
If someone doesn-t show an interest to quit smoking or care to is it possible to convince them to quit?
How?
no you can-t. If they don-t want to quit they wont quit. Heck some people who want to quit can-t find the will power to quit
my parents used to smoke so i told them that i loved them and that i wanted them to be around to see my kids and maybe even my kids kids and (with help from my grandma) put together this chart thing that i would do something for them (like do the dishes or cook dinner or whatever) after so many days of not smoking and they finally quit! now i always tell them how proud i am of them . . .and so my point is that if you love this person tell them that you do and that you want them to stay around but dont put them down for doing it just put down smoking.
hope that helps :)
No. Respect them and respect yourself. But you can be sure not to enable them to smoke. Do not provide lighters, allow smoking in your own home/car. Also, do not reward them - do not kiss or hug them because of the smell/taste, or what ever works in your relationship.
Be consistent. Tell them in advance that you are imposing these rules for you (not for them) and stick with it. You have to respect their right to decide what to do with their own home/car/body. However, this will raise the price of smoking for them, which may or may not motivate them to quit.
i think its possible..my dad used to smoke..all i did was tell him over and over again wat can happen to your lungs and the rest of your body then i reminded him of everyone else in our family who died of lung cancer (which runs in the males on my dads side of the family) and last but not least i told him that he would die at a young age leaving me my mom and my sister....he completely stopped about a year later..he picked up this bad habit when he was 15 and stopped at 40
Nope.
A smoker - like any other drug addict - can only get off the drugs if they are genuinely committed to quitting.
You can-t talk a person into that kind of decision - they really have to reach a point where there are prepared to admit that they have a problem that needs to be fixed.
I have a cousin who smokes. I told him to stop smoking, but he won-t. So I memorized all the negatives of smoking and told it to him in his face. I also went online and showed him pictures of what happens. Even though he didn-t stop yet, I-m still hoping, and at least he-s a little more wary now.
You can convince them as much as you want but they have to want to do it on their own. My husband has been saying he is gonna stop for the longest and so far he hasn-t picked up in 57 days. That is the longest he has went without and I am so proud of him.
Yes,there are many ways to do this.One is to bring the tobacco leaves
grind and put in water,filtrate and give to that smoker to drink all of the liquid.Doing this sensitization for many times.Later,while that smoker only inhale the smoke,he will hate smoking.
it has to be there choice if its a relative or friend you could try an intervention type thing where you all get together and tell them how you feel you could show them videos of people with lung cancer but im afraid the decision is ultimately theirs sorry
yes you can if have a problem or if someone else does then put there cigars in a jar and if they try to open it then it will smell and that person will not like the smell so they will not want to smoke!!
you can-t makes someone do something. he now mentally needs tobacco in him and if you take that away it care really hurt him the best thing to do is bring him to professional help
Threaten them with something important.
or make a bet with them and challenge their pride
is that motivational enough?
No. You can-t make a person do ANYTHING. Don-t ever try to force your ideals on somebody else.
Not a chance if they don-t want to. They-re addicted to it like drugs.
No you can-t. So save your breath.
No. People have to be willing to do something, you can-t force them.
no....my uncle died indecember of lung cancer and to the end he swore it was not the 4 packs a day he smoked...he was only 51
no you cant, if there not ready then there will power is not in it
