Natural Quit Smoking Magic

You really cannot stop someone from smoking. You can remind him of the health risks and even show him pictures of what happens to his lungs, but that may not even work.
Smoking is an addiction and not easily stopped. My brother-in-law has tried to stop smoking many times and he still smokes just as much as ever. He cannot even stop himself. A person has to want to stop. Your uncle and my brother-in-law do not truly want to stop or they would have put their full effort into it and both would have quit by now.
It is always possible for someone to quit, but it may be difficult and has to be something that the smoker truly wants.
Take care,
Troy

Hi,
I really empathise with you, I quit my 20 a day habit in a pain-free way this time last year!
No stress, no cravings, no weight gain, no pills, patches or gums.
The program I followed was recommended by a friend and now boasts a 90% success rate and is 100% fully guaranteed - can't say fairer than that
All the best..

You can't "make" anyone stop smoking until "they decide for themselves" that it's time. I gave up smoking just about one month ago after 32 years of smoking. It wasn't because anyone influenced me, it was because #1.) it was affecting my health and I was constantly coughing like I had a cold, it became especially embarrasing when a fit of coughing would break out during passionate sexual intercourse. #2.) I am changing careers and entering the health field of nursing and I hate hippocrites who tell you that smoking is no good for your health then go outside and light one up themselves.

you can not stop him. but you can try really hard to try to help him and encourage him to stop. Bring him some of the stuff that they have out the helps people stop smoking like the patches or the pills or something and maybe he'll try them and it could maybe help him stop smoking

he has to be ready to quit smoking. hospitals now offer free classes for people who want to stop smoking. he could also try the patch or support groups.

Get something from Canada called a Pika. Whenever you see anyone smoking, smoke THEM with the pika.

no one stops smoking unless they really want to.. and the fact that they do smoke doesn't mean they're inconsiderate to your feelings regarding smoking... the best thing to do is support him either way, and once he sees that maybe he'll consider quitting, instead of you pushing him to quit

Okay, first off.........You cannot MAKE anyone DO anything, you have no power over another person's actions. They have to want it for themselves.
What you can do, is try to educate that person, and let them know how much you love them, and why you think they should try to quit. Good Luck!

Buy him Nicorette gum. He'll get the nicotine but not damage his lungs with the tar from a cig.
