How do you get someone to quit smoking? -
You can-t. Only they can do it and if you let them know you want them to quit that-s about all you can do.
you can-t quite make some one quit, if they don-t want to. but once they have agreed that they should stop smoking, there-s a few different methods you could try. some smokers can just cold turkey it (give it up straight away)
you could try nicotine patches. then there-s through the help of a medical professional, by going to appointments to measure how much carbon something or another you have in your lungs - it helps you by helping you quit slowly.
i just quit 2 weeks ago, been smoking for 9 years... since i was very young.. anyway i read Alan cars eazy way to stop smoking, its a really good book it is the best book to read to quit smoking it explains how smoking keeps you addicted, and telling people that it does such and such to their health and they are stupid for doing it just doesn-t help because a non-smoker cant really comprehend what the smoker doesn-t comprehend himself. the smoker knows they are destroying their health. but due to brain washing they believe smoking is stress relieving and relaxing from subliminal messages. it does relieve stress.ONLY the stress of not smoking while your body is draining off nicotine every time you butt out, then when you smoke again your levels are raised, your partially relieved of the stress of lowering nicotine levels and then you start weening off again, seconds after and your stress rises again. but it is only there because you are smoking in the first place. so when you give up you are actually losing nothing..and gaining freedom. all this is explained very well in Alan cars -eazy way- to stop smoking...
It would be very hard if that person doesn-t want to quit themselves. Really the only thing you can do is tell them how much you want them to stop smoking and tell they you will be there for them if they decided to. Buy them some patches and some gum. Just DON-T preach them to death they will just resent you.
Im a smoker, i know all about the health issues and such and i wish i never ever started, but i was young - stupid. If someone kept jabbering on at m to quit it would just get me angry - if anything i would smoke more to do their head in - pathetic but true.
I want to quit dont get me wrong but i dont feel ready in myself to give up yet, its not easy believe me, when im stressed, angry or upset the first thing i do is reach for a smoke, if i havent got them my brain goes nuts. You cant get someone to quit, you may want them to but you cant always have your own way! You have to really want it and feel emotionally ready. People will do things in their own time. =)
you don-t. they will only quit when they want to. same goes for drug addicts, obese people, abused women who won-t leave the abuser, really any self destructive behavior, you can-t make a person do anything, in fact the more you push, the further they will push you away.
I agree with the person above me. It is all about if they want to quit or not, same with if a person wants to lose weight and so on. Everyone has free will as well as will power. However, as a drastic measure, I would personally hide all the cigarette packs they buy - although be prepared for HUGE arguments! But I have thought of doing that to my husband, he smokes too much.
YOU don-t, a smoker has to want to quit, and when they do then they quit. Nothing you can do or say will make them quit.
You can-t make anyone quit. The best you can do is present them with information that might make them want to quit.
keep spanking there butt if you see them smoking
they-ll quit eventually :D
you should convience them telling them how smoking affects ur health etc show them some pictures of what smoking can do to ur body (go on google and u-ll find some pretty gross pics prolly)
you cant force someone to do something they dont want to do
steal their cigarettes
