Tell her that you will not love her anymore if she will not quit smoking and tell her that you mean it.
If she-s smoking everyday near you of in the other room close to where you are, you still get the disadvantage of the smoke or cigarrette. It is called the second hand smoke and it is more dangerous than what she is getting. You can also get cancer by just inhaling the smell of the nicotine that-s being left in her hair, skin, clothes and breath. For non-smoker that smell is very very strong because they are clean inside their lungs, but for people that smokes, and for people that is so use in getting the second hand smoke, they don-t smell or notice it at all because their system is so familiar with it already, meaning it is in their lungs already.
It takes 6 months for the lungs to clear a small amount of smoke that was inhaled one time. Imagine about smoking many times during the day everyday - the person-s lungs must be untraceable already.
Also, the effect of smoking a lot for a long time is, if it so happen that this person (your mom) get into an accident or get a cancer or have a major illness that she needed to be put in antibiotic, her system will not take the medication because of the cigarrette smoke that-s lingering all over her system/body and organ. That means that she will have a longer period of recovery if she will recover because her immune system is weakened by the cigarrette.
Tell her, if she loves you, she better love herself the clean way. Also, no matter how she practice good hygience, she still will have the stench from the smoke but she will not know that because only those people that-s not around cigarrette smoker can identify the stenchy smell.
you cannot convince your mother not to smoke,or make her quit.She has to want to quit smoking of her own desire.As a non smoker,you haven-t the slightest idea of how addictive smoking is,so intolerance is not acceptable on your part.All you can do is ask her if she will,for your sake as well as hers,but you cannot use power to get her to do so,that-s only up to her.
tell her. -No matter how hard it is to quit. Quit. You will die much sooner if you smoke and i don-t want that to happen! Please quit. For me...please-
okay and if that doesn-t work
-If you don-t quit smoking, you don-t care about me-.... Little harsh but sometimes you need to go that far.
throw out her packs and keep doin it
