My girlfriend is a heavy smoker....

My hearty congrats to you on becoming conscious and stop smoking. I appreciate your action. You can talk to your girl friend just to see the videos because they helped you to stop smoking. Smoking is very injurious to heath. Is she also a nurse? Health is weath and I hope you can help her quit smoking by seeing you are surviving healthy and happy without smoking. Hope it will happen in the near future.

Smoking really sucks!! I tried few weeks back and damn wat do people get by inhaling that smoke in their lungs i wonder. . Such a absurd thing to do and i just never started it.. I think anyone would take up smoking if they are really over stressed or cant handle life in a calm way. Maybe they need something to relieve their stress and that mite help them quit it. .Be someone who can care for her always, she ll quit if she starts realizing this. .:)

Well, you can't TELL her to quit. Trust me. My husband and I went through that. I didn't exactly tell him, but I put the pressure on him to quit. He said he wanted to and I jumped on him about it. He quit for a little bit but he kept going back to it. I think you should ask her to quit. Show her the youtube videos. Explain to her your reason for quitting. Explain the health reason why she should quit. Talk to her calmly. Ask her to hear you out completely before she gets upset. Tell her you love her and you are concerned for her health. Find some options for how she can quit and see if she is open to any of them. My dad got pills from his doctor. They didn't help him quit completely, but he smokes a lot less. i think though that if he was really committed to quitting that they would have helped him quit. There are also many pills and gums available. My husband did end up quitting. It has been a little over a year now. He just slowly cut out a few a week and then finally when he was down to only one a day he just quit completely.

It is great showing commitment to society.Smoking is really bad habit and it also affect non smoker too.I congratulate you for quitting smoking.And you should convince your girl friend to quit it

Firstly, congrats to you for managing to quit! Apparently it is a very hard thing to do but it will be so much better for you. As for your girlfriend, she needs to open her eyes and see the damages smoking can cause! Maybe it would do her good to see the campaign, sudden truth. Generally i think showing people the negative effects are a good way of making them realise the bad effects! She might be sensitive but it might work out best at the end of the day!

Huh,can i ask a question first,is she your girlfreind or just a girl freind?I mean,if she is your lover ,you should stop her to smoke any more,even you two will arise a fight,but if you are just frein,i think you shou respect her choice first,and then tell her something about smoking step by step.

Congrats for quiting. Try to give her some books about anti smoking campaign and also try to show her the Youtube video. Also try to take her to some deaddiction programme. Instead of you are doing all these, somebody intimate to her should inspire her for this. Hope she will quit and become all right. Wish you all the best

She knows how you feel about it and beyond that, it is a personal choice and something one really really has to want to do. It is very difficult to quit and especially if she is a heavy smoker. Hounding her won't help and may even alienate her from you. The fact that you have quit may inspire her. You can only hope.

What I would do is just sit down in a relaxed environment and just be like hunny I know you don't want to quit smoking and I understand its your habit to make or break but I would like you to look at the videos I watched which made me quit therefore you see both sides of the spectrum. If she gets all upset she gets upset but just tell her that you are just concerned for her and her health so therefore you two can be together for the longest time possibly instead of it being cut short because she gets some disease because of her smoking addiction. And even suggest her just slow down smoking if she doesn't want to quit completely. That has to help a tad.

Having a heart condition can only be aggravated further by smoking plus there are also all the other very serious health problems that smoking causes to consider. You have to explain that it is because you care about her so much that you are raising the subject of her smoking and that you cannot idly stand by and watch her slowly kill herself. You could also tell her that you will be there every step of the way in her battle to quit.

Please tell her to quit no matter what reaction might be from her. You are doing goodness to her and for her health you have to do that . Or you might make a proposal to her and say to her that quiting smoke will make a healthy and clever boby in the future.
