How can you ask somebody to quit smoking? -
of course you can ask them. but they won-t listen. there-s an addiction between them and smoking. you have to undestand that. you mus give them helpful tips and warn them about the suffers from smoking. they may not listen still. but if they do buy all kinds of helpful medications like Nicorette or something. ask a doctor/pharmacist for help on choosing the most helpful ones. but make sure this person knows you are going to be with them ever step of the way. and do not insult them because that is very disrespectful. so just warn them about the risks of diseases and death and all that and be with them and take away all the cigarettes and trash them and watch them to make sure they dont buy anymore. trust me it will help.
im sorry if this doesnt help you on what excatly to say. but these are good ideas of what to say.
STAY ANTI-DRUG!!!
peace
As a smoker there is really nothing anyone could say to get me to quit. Now if my son asks I would listen to him and quit.
You can ask but until that person wants to do it nothing will come of it. It all starts with them.
They have to ownership of their own health and they have to want TO quit and -bag the fag- oops I mean cigarettes.
dont ever say it causes lung cancer, they-re just gonna keep rolling that stuff all day.
They quit if they want to and it is hard but remind them. Their lungs are all black and gross looking, they have a gallon of black gooey tar inside their stomach and they-re lungs are falling apart each time u smoke.
Many people do indeed get their vocal cord taken out and the doctor sreplace a voice box inside their throat [i mean, they cut inside ur throat and pull out ur vocal cord and bput in a tiny box in ur throat which is very painful and u cant talk anymore, so the voice box does it for you and u sound like a robott. Tell him/her when u-ve been smoking for a looong time, you start to lose ur voie each day and that can turn into cancer and u might have to pull the vocal cord outside ur throat. Verrry painful. Show him/her this website

Just say - can you quit smoking- that-s about as easy as it gets.
tell them you love them and that you don-t want to watch them suffer from all the pain when they develop lung cancer.
You can suggest them not to smoke around you but asking them to quit is pointless because it-s like asking a drug addict to quit drugs. I have asked my boyfriend to quit. He quit for a year then started back up. Now he has the courtesy to atleast smoke when he-s not in the same room with me.
Just say -Quit smoking-
Robert-s got the Best Answer from the three that were there when I decided to answer your question. You can add care and concern to it, or you can just ask them (in a veiled way of telling them) to quit smoking. If you want somebody to quit for your personal well being, asking is too indirect. I was dating a woman who burned a hole in one of my big bath towels as she dried her hands before she came out of the bathroom. I told her I wanted her to buy me a new bath towel to replace that one. She did, AND she later married me and we had (and have) two kids together, ages 21 and 22 now. Being assertive isn-t bad. I love my kids dearly, and her as well. God Bless you.
You can ask them, but it really is up to that person if they want to quit or not.
