How long does it take for cigarettes to be potentially harmful?

cigarettes
My older brother started social smoking when he was a senior in high school, and now he smokes a few cigarettes a day (freshman in college). I’ve asked him to quit, but he won’t listen to me.

How long does it take for cigarettes to be potentially harmful to his body? Years, decades? I want to tell him these kind of facts to make him quit. Thanks.

How do you make someone quit smoking?

quit smoking
I really want my brother to quit smoking. He promises to quit smoking everytime we tell him to. But he still keeps on smoking especially when he is angry (like some kind getting back on us). I don’t want him to compromise his health because of smoking sooner or later. Please help!

How can I help a child in the 4th grade to stop smoking? I know its true because I saw him and he lives in a “bad neiborhood.” his brother goes to school with me and he doesn’t know because I’m the onlyone that his brother can trust to tell. Does anyone know how to stop him?

I’m only an 11 year old girl, but I want to help my mom to stop smoking. My dad and 12-year old brother are also trying to help, but does anyone have any suggestions on helping us? She’s kinda cranky since she tryed to quit, but still sneaks a few puffs, any help?
