Answer #1

Find someone that you know she smokes with and suggest to them that they quit together. Or find something she doesnt like that you do that you are willing to give up and tell her you’ll stop doing whatever, if she stops smokeing. Good luck.

Answer #2

Dear amandababy_x3, Alas…addictions are strong. As you can tell they are stronger than the concern from family. Therefore you must stop focusing on her and put the focus on you. If she smokes in the house you are exposed to second hand smoke. Leave each time she lights up…you also send a message this way. Telling, begging usually doesn’t work with addicts…leave some material around about the medical help she can get to quit. There is no easy answer, sorry. Sue…good luck

Answer #3

Ok well here’s a tactic but is also the truth. Because she is your mother she obviously cares about you alot so approach her addiction from another angle. Say that you are a passive smoker because wehn she smokes you also inhale her smoke in the air and when she smokes it damages your lungs as well. So it’s not just her life and well being that is at stake but also yours. Because your mother loves you this should make her at least assess her decision to continue smoking.
