how would you ask your dad to stop smoking?

Answer 1

tell him second hand smoke is more dangerous (because it is!) and you are concerned about your health and his.

Answer 2

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

Answer 3

You can probably ask all you want, but the fact of the matter is he will not quit smoking until he is ready. It will not help any to beg or ask, in fact it may just make him want to smoke all the more. I know that when I smoked my kids asked me and I did quit. I wish now I would have but I did not at that time. I finally did quit smoking about 10 years ago and I am glad I did. But it had to be on my own terms, because I was finally ready to quit.

Answer 4

When I was like 3 or 4 my dad smoked and I always told on him when he did and I quess he just stopped for the benefit of my health. But at a special occasion like birthday or holiday just say the only thing you want is for him to stop smoking. Don't try to give facts, say something that would really touch him.

Answer 5

Talk to him nicely. If it fails, perhaps you should be more strict.
Why are you spending money to kill yourself? Smokers are stupid. They burn money to kill themselves slowly and suffer afterwards. Find some pictures on the net that shows the horrible effects of smoking. The lungs burnt/melting etc. You want to die horribly or rest in peace? Dying with cancer is not a good idea. There are thousands, probably millions of sickness associated with smoking. You're not only killing yourself. Research shows that second hand smokes are more deadly than first hand smokes. You are also causing global warming and air pollution. Imagine the money you can save by not smoking.

Answer 6

i've tried to get my dad to stop smoking, but it only worked for a week before he went back to smoking. he's been smoking since he was 10 yrs old and he's very much addicted to it. unless he gets some professional help, or comes to some kind of compromise with my mum (she's an alcoholic), there's no way i'd be able to stop him from smoking

Answer 7

I had the same problem with my dad and I tried to get him to stop numerous times. When I was little, I would actually break his cigarettes in half. What I did to finally get him to stop is to (purposely) cough a lot and pretend not to be able to speak because I couldn't stop coughing. Then whenever he wasn't smoking and tried to talk to me I would walk away and say the smell of smoke makes me gag. Eventually, he switched to nicotine gum and now use regular gum. Hope this helps. :)

Answer 8

Just tell him if he stops smoking you'll take him to the doctor and get him a bunch of pills to stay stoned on, like everybody else.

Answer 9

nicely with sugar on top? Along time ago when i asked my dad to stop smoking, i actually pulled up a list of dangerous effects smoking has on the human body and we got him the patch, Then i gave them both to him for his birthday : ) it worked

Answer 10

I would probably say, "If you love me, you'll stop." jokingly at first. But then, I would explain to him that I would like him to be around whenever I get married and have kids, and maybe present some statistics that prove people die as early as 40 from smoking. I would tell him that I don't want him to be taken from me earlier than it should be. Third, I would mention to him how important it is to me for him to stop.

Answer 11

Sit down and let him know how much it bothers you. Tell him that you are concerned for his health. In the end, he has to make a decision. Trust me, I have been smoke-free for a year and I had to decide the right time. Good luck.
