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?

How do I stop my dad smoking around me?

stop smoking
:] asked:


My dad has smoked since he was 15 and hes now in his forties. Ever since I was born, Im 18, he has smoked around me. I dont think he realises what kind of damage smoking does, nevermind second hand smoking. I really want him to quit smoking but he always says ‘In order to quit you actually have to want to, and right now I dont want to.’ Which I think is very selfish because hes shortening his and all the people he smokes arounds life. Any ways I can get him to quit all around? Or atleast stop smoking around me and my family?

What are the chances that you get cancer if you stop smoking abruptly?

JP asked:


My dad has been smoking for more than 30 yrs. Now a mass was found in his lungs. If this is cancer, should he stop smoking abruptly? I heard that if you stop smoking abruptly, then there is a bigger chance of developing cancer. Can anybody confirm this. Is quitting gradually more advisable? Thanks

Me and my friend are both only 12 and she smokes ciggarettes. My Dad smokes and I don’t really bother when he smokes around me, but when she smokes, I feel really uncomfortable.
