help to stop a loved one from smoking

Post a new topicby riley11 on Wed Aug 29, 2007 8:17 am


I know he has to decide to stop himself but it's so hard to sit back and not do anything. I've cried, begged, threatened, and even bought the patch for him. Any ideas on what else I can try?

Hey riley11,
Your right when you say he has to decide for himself to stop. I just read a few stories that maybe you could share with you loved one and possibly help convince him to quit.

Good Luck!

You could try an intervention by getting together a bunch of family members and talk to him about why you want him to stop smoking and how much it would mean to you. Have every family member present do this. It may be helpful also to mention some recovery programs to the smoker.

Hello

My name is David and untill a few days ago I used to smoke 2 packs a day. I have tried, like many others, to quit for years. I have tried everything in the market, gums, paches, even chantix. However I must say that nothing comes close to the eCigarette. It is so easy to quit with it. The whole point is you just keep smoking! The eCigarette dosen't contiain any tabbacoo or tar, which means it is a lot less harmful then an old fastion cigarette.

On top of everything, since the eCigarette is non flameable and contains no tabbaco there is no laws that phorhibed its use anywhere. You can smoke it whereever you want, at the mall, the airport, your office, at home, anywhere at all!

Check it out
