My mom is 50 years old heavy chain-smoking woman for years. She is on her 3 packs a day habit with no intense to quit or cut it down. She is smoking for about 25 years, and she is always with a ciggie in her mouth smoking like a chimney and every day she smokes more and more. She also likes to smoke two cigs at once saying that she really needs to smoke more to feel good. In a recent years she started to smoke cigars on a daily purpose, she is really deeply inhaling them and says that she likes big smoke that fills her inside. She has a female friends about her age, who also smokes a lot and when they come to our house it is smoke everywhere i'm almost out of breath.
And my mom changed a lot. She looks older than she is, she got wrinkles on her face too early, she has a yellow tar stained teeth and very bad breath, she is always coughing a lot and constantly out of breath, sometimes i noticed that she is feeling dizzy, but she says she is ok and that she needs to smoke.Is it problem?

Probably not much you can do for her...for yourself get an air cleaner..maybe you can put it in your bedroom so you have clean air.

It is a huge problem. Not only for her but for anyone around her, including yourself. I quit smoking 4 months ago after watching a clip on youtube called smoking killed my mother. Maybe you should watch it with her. That was my final straw.
Coughing, out of breath, & dizziness are all preludes to a more serious illness. You can't make her quit, she's going to have to want to quit, but there are medications out there today that make it a lot easier. Chantix from Pfizer is one of the newest and in my opinion, the best. Encourage her to talk to her doctor about a qutting program. Tell her how much you love her and want her to be around for you, and your children eventually. And if she does decide to quit, then you need to be there for her cheering her along the way.

Smoking is always a problem. She has a major nicotine addiction. Sounds like she is using them like drugs to get high.

LOL, it shouldn't be a problem for you, you have a smoking fetish. You are probably better visiting one of the many fetish sites catering to smoking than making fake posts about it.

It is a BIG problem. Start to fight for your mom and your health(it is very dangerous to live with smoker) before it is to late.
