say "I know I know I need to quit" and blah blah blah. And I'm getting tired of her having these coughing fits (she's been having them for years now) She saw my grandmother (her own mother) die of emphysema from smoking, yet this is not enough to make her stop. She has patches and Nicorette gum sitting in the cabinet. I brought up how nasty it smelled in the living room (she smokes in the house) the other day, and she didn't answer me. She was mad that I brought it up. For some reason when you bring up her quitting smoking, she gets an attitude and tunes you out. Does she not realize it's affecting me my brother, sister, and my dad (he has been complaining a lot lately about the house smelling like a giant ashtray). Question: How in the world do you get through to a person, or get a point across when they won't listen to you or take your advice?
