There is this herbal supplement that is out that can help your parents quite smoking. I helped my grandfather quit smoking my giving him (Diet Herbs nicotine relief) it worked miracles because it took away his craving to smoke. My grandfather had been smoking for at least 40 years and he stopped so I know your parents can also.
Born kit Homeopathics also works very well and so does (Smoke Free) its a spray. You can find all of the things I mentioned at Whole Foods Market or at a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

Well my husband who is not 34, quit smoking his almost 2 pack of Marlboro Mediums, over 4 years ago. Our son who was then 5, suffers from allergies and asthmatic symptoms. And the doctor told my husband that even though he smokes out side he is still bringing in the smoke/allergans off of him and his clothes, and that still passes on through our son. So he soon quit just for the health of our son. It was pretty hard ar first for him, but cold turkey was his only way he could do it. He tried some kind of thing he got from the flea market that he put on the end of his cigarette, that was suppose to help him quit, but it didn't. So his only method was purely just WILL POWER. After abour 6 months to a year he couldn't even stand the smell of a cigarette. He works with a guy who smokes daily, and it doesn't bother him at all and he is not tempted. Good Question!

NONE of the government warnings on cigarette packets even works... if it did then no one would be smoking... you need a different approach...
when you get in a conversation about smoking again, casually slip in the conversation that you would like to see BOTH of them at your wedding some day
Also you could suggest or even buy for them "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr (from amazon ~ $10) This book has helped millions of people to stop smoking
nicotine patches dont really work that well... great in the first week or so, not so great after a year. You cannot treat a nicotine addiction by prescribing more nicotine !
My sister and my hygenist have successfully quit (4+ years) after having hypnotherapy...
You could suggest to each of your parents to pay for the hypnotherapy for each other...

There's 6570 good reasons... a year.

3 packs a day,
6$ a pack
1 year
3 X 6$ X 365 = 6570 $

How sad. Nicotine is a very strongly addictive substance & the fact is that you can babble til you are blue in the face about the health risks & how much you love them & dont want them to get sick but they may never quit unless they really pu their minds to it. I really hope they dont smoke around you though. If they do I would focus on the dangers of secondhand smoke & insist that they keep you healthy even if they refuse to help themselves.

You can't make them do anything if they aren't ready or willing. However, you can continually tell them your concerns for their and your health.
Leave pamphlets around the house. Invite them to look at a website about smoking risks or quitting. Just love and support them and encourage them.

Make yourself a sign that says, "WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME?",
and wear it around your neck.
It should make them stop and think what their smoking is doing to you. And if they say they will compromise and not smoke around you, tell them that the children of smokers are almost 100% likely to become smokers themselves.
If that doesn't work, ask them if it's okay for you to take drugs seeing as they are setting the example for you by taking the drug nicotine.
Good luck.

You can't make them quit. You can ask them. You can gather facts on how harmful smoking is and show it to them. Good luck!

All you can do is just keep telling them that you don't like it and don't want to see them ruin their lives and your's (with 2nd hand smoke). I smoked for 24 years and quit "Cold Turkey" because my kids did not like it. Hopefully they will see your side and do it for you & themselves.
