My friend consumes at least 2 packs a day of cigarettes. I don't know but for him it's his way of coping with stress he told me. I was like, you can do other better things than that to deal with your stress and constantly talk about the bad effects of smoking and that he could get lung cancer someday because of this. How do you convince a friend to quit smoking?

I'm not sure you can, a person has to be self motivated to conquer an addiction. They have to want to, it's too hard otherwise.I sure sympathize, we have wanted my son in law to stop smoking for years. He has tried a couple times but it hasn't taken. I hope your friend will see the light.

@CinnamonGirl couldn't agree more with you my friend. It's just so tough to convince someone who's addicted to something :(

I think it's hard to convince anyone about anything.
