How to convince my mom she needs to stop smoking?

stop smoking
animalessence asked:


My mom has smoked cigarettes for a very long time, and I cannot convince her to stop. I’ve tried giving her facts and statistics about smoking problems and diseases and how she is endangering me, and whenever I try to talk to her about it she says, “Don’t worry about it.” And then if I try to lead on the conversation more, she will yell at me. The only other thing she answered me with is, “It’s too hard to quit.” But she has never tried to quit before. I am sick of breathing smoke all the time, I’m sick of not being able to have friends over because they get headaches when they are at my house (many have told me), and I am sick of sitting here watching my mother suck on cancer sticks just wasting her life away, and endangering me and everyone else. She refuses to just smoke outside, and air purifiers are not an option. (They are too expensive) We are also not doing so good financially and she ignores the fact that that’s where all the money goes. Please help me.
Thanks for all the answers already, and I have given her facts and such but she just pushes me away and will not listen to me at all. I have ended up in tears trying to convince her but she cares about her cigarettes more. All I ask is for her to try and she isn’t at all. She didn’t stop when she was pregnant with me or my brother, and she almost lost me because I was born prematurely, but she still didn’t try.

Two of my friends smoke and I just figured it out today. I want to ask them to stop smoking, but I think that they will get mad. They started when they were 4 years old and their older sister tought them their parents already know, but they don’t seem to care. My friend told me where they get their smokes from and I don’t know what to do. Please,someone help me.

How do I stop smoking with no support from friends or family?

stop smoking
I am almost 7 months pregnant, and I have tried many times to stop smoking. I am attempting once more. I get alot of pressure from my fiancee who also smokes. Also, he seems unwilling to even try to support me through this. My “friends” still light up right in fromt of me, to the fact where I have to leave the room just to not be around the smoke. Isit even possible to quit with all this going on? Any suggestions?
