I need advice to Stop Smoking!

[Sabu]

My mum and dad keep smoking,but they said they would stop.I told them that if they have to,they could have 1 cigerette if they get stressed.Now I start to think that they are taking advantige of what I said,and also,I think they are both having cigerettes behing my back.
Does anybody have some advice to help me,help them stop smoking?

PS Do you think that I should steal ALL the cigerretes I find around the house,and put them at the bottom of the bin?

Well, i smoke, and I'm in the process of quitting (or at leats tyring to start the process), and no, if you stole their cigarettes, they'd find out, and eventually they'd be mad at you.
Do you actually see them smoking? If worst comes to worst, i guess steal the cigarettes, but that's only if they won't stop at all.
*Also, try asking another family relative for help, to stop them smoking.

I tryied that and got moaned at

[Sabu]

You prove a point Butch :rolleyes:

I'm a bit scared about asking a relative,excluding that the only people who don't smoke are my Auntie,Uncle,Nan & Grandad.My sister was the person who got my mum back into the smoking habbit :@
I've got some thinking to do

Thanks for the advice guys

By the way Butch,if they DO start smoking to much,do you think I should steal the cigerettes One by One,Two by Two or something?

Evil methods:

.Tell them u think u'v got lung cancer (prolly wont work )
.Threaten to start smoking if they dont stop
. Jump on their face

[Sabu]

errr MYKE,heres what I think of your suggestions:

-If I tell them I have lung cancer,they will take me into hospital,then find out I am lying PLUS it'll break they're hearts if they don't

-If I threaten them to stop smoking,they'll hurt me,ground me and most likely do something my whole FAMILY will regret!

-They'll ground me

There are loads of TV videos about what happens to smokers health, I suggest get some of them and make them watch it, they made my dad stop smoking.

I used to smoke and have given up almost competly now. I only have 1 when I am majorly stressed. Which is not very often.

My advice to you would be not to steal their cigerettes as it will make them want them more.
If you have enough money, get them some patches or gum.

Tell them how upset you are, use the "I dont want to loose my parents at an early age" phrase, show them how upset you are.

Try to stop them emotionally.

Good luck

Here are a couple ways I've thought of but never used cause none of my family smokes.

1 - If you find a pack take all the cigarettes out fill the pack with little rolls of paper that look like cigarettes. Draw NO-SMOKING signs on them first so when they pull it out they see the message.

2 - Take one of their cigarettes and wait for one of your parents to come in. PRETEND you do not see them and look like your about to light up. I dont know if this will get you in trouble or not but say your curious to know what can be so good that its got both of them hooked.

3 - Start coughing wildly a lot when you walk by them or are in the same room. Say you got called down to the office because you smelled like smoke

[ttranquility.]

No, you shouldnt you would get in bad trouble. 2'nd you should just NOT do anything about it. They will find out soon enough. So just Keep putting "patches" IF you really want to stop them from smokeing. But i wouldnt.
