theres not much you can do to stop them from smoking completely. You could always explain to them why you have a problem with it (i.e. you're concerned for their heath etc.) or ask them not to smoke around you if you really don't like it.
Overall its a personal choice and many people know the dangers and still wont stop because of their addiction to it.
Good luck with it.

I would sit them down and talk to them. Tell them what you know smoking can do and what second hand smoke is doing to you and your lungs.
Ask if they could PLEASE TRY TO QUIT ...for all your sakes...and that you know it will be extremely difficult for them but it's worth it in the long run.
If they say NO they can't or don't want to quit...You need to ask if they can Smoke Outside as you honestly want to live a long life and with second hand smoke , you won't be able to do that*
If you sit with them and honestly, openly talk with them, I'm sure you all can work something out* Remember, if they've been smoking for years, they may not want to quit or feel they can't quit....There are patches on the market now to wear instead of having a smoke, theirs nicorette gum to control how many smokes they'll smoke...and soon, it will become less and less* THEY HAVE TO WANT To QUIT......or it will never work*
Let them know how strongly you feel about it....and if they say no* , request they start smoking outside from now on* Tell them YOU want to live life not be filled with second hand smoke* GOODLUCK*
