mY fahther smokes!!!

I can understand you,my father is also a heavy smoker,he has compelitely addicted to the cigers.My mother ,my brother and I have tired to persuaded him to give up smoking,but it doesn't work.He always says that smoking does good to him,after smoing,he has energy to work.He alse said that some people become more and more healthy as the result of smoking.I really have no words to say.He usually tell us kids that we should send sigars for him when we grow up.

Wow, that is very harmful. I guess my father still smokes.. but not as often.. i don't see him do it, but he does hide a packet.. You should tell him how you feel and also show him pictures of people who have lung cancer.

Your father is really a heavy smoker, Well you could really easily stop a smoker, because once that they are hooked with that they will always find and find ways to have one. Try talking to him that you are concerned about his health and what he is doing to himself, it is bad for him and his surrounding. I really don't know how to stop smokers for smoking because in my family no one smokes.

Your father is a chain smoker,and I don't think you can do anything to make him quit his addiction.He is well aware of the fatal consequences of smoking,but he has got used to it.Smoking is his addiction and giving up an addiction is not easy.It needs a lot of courage and determination to say good bye to an addiction,but an addict is not strong enough to summon up so much courage.I know,you are anxious about his health,but unfortunately you can do nothing for it.All you can try is requesting him to quit the injurious habit or give him some good articles about the negative effects of smoking.

Unfortunately what you want and what your father wants are two different things. Ask yourself how you would feel if he would want you to stop doing something that you enjoy very much just because he wanted you to. Look at it from that point of view and it will be easier for you to understand. Smoking is a terrible habit. I smoked for almost 10 years and decided one day I wanted to quit, so I did. It was easy for me because it was a choice that I made for myself. My husband on the other hand still smokes. When I was younger I too also tried to get him to quit with the same results as you. I realized after many years of asking, pleading, begging, bribing and hints of the truth of health risks of smoking that no matter what I said, he will never quit, unless it was his idea. I have been patient with him. After many years of me keeping my mouth shut, except for the occasional comment of the terrible smell, he is now talking about how he needs to quit smoking. Point being made: you will never get any one to do what you what simply because you want them to or even it is the right thing to do. If that was the case, I would have a lot of changes on my list for a lot of people in my life...haha! I have come to realize that I must choose to accept the people in my life for who and what they are. I'm sure there are things people would like to change about me, but I am happy with the way I am, so I'm not changing!

Hi Akibur! My father did smoke but eventually had a way out of it. We always remind him of cancer or some sort to make him quit but there was to effect at all.. what we did was we let him watch a video about smoking, he did saw those gruesome lungs and quite bothered by it. Instead of smoking, he eats candies.. Put something in his mouth that would keep him busy.. God bless!
