How can i stop my dad from smoking?

stop smoking
He’s reaching the half century mark in about 2 years and I’m really starting to get worried for him. I understand how hard it is for him to quit smoking but I want to say something to him that will make him stop. I am his 16 year old son, and he should care about my life and his life. My friend stopped his father from smoking by saying to his father that if he doesn’t stop smoking, that he’ll start. I can’t say that to my dad because he knows my friend said that to his dad. Any suggestions?

    Actually, my dad smokes a lot, too. He smokes 3-4 cigarettes a day. But before he used to have 3/4 of a packet! I reduced my dad’s smoking by telling him I would ignore him until he stopped. Since he has only reduced, I don’t talk to him much. Slowly, he will stop and i will start talking to him. Try this! Hope I helped!

    when i was little my dad gave me and my brother and sister a talk about how bad somking was. so we banned together and started throwing them away, when he picked up the packs we put them individually in the toilet and didnt flush it so he found them. then he hid them on top of the fridge so we climbed up and continued..

    lol well anyways, if i were you i would tell him exactally how you feel, and make sure you tell him how disapointed you are in him.. make him feel guilty for letting his son down.

    When I was in first grade my dad smoked. He said he would quit if I got all my spelling words right for the whole year. He quit because I did. Bet your father something big. Kind of like my story.

    this may be a stupid answer to you

    you can put gun powder in his cigarettes just a little not a lot you don’t want to kill him but it should explode in his face and scare him real bad
    and he might stop
