Can you tell me how could i get my dad to stop smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: Thinking you can "get" someone to do something is the best way to think about it. It's great you want him to stop, but nagging won't help - it may make him feel guilty (and maybe a little mad). She has to want to do this. But, you should tell her why you want her to stop - for his health, right? Let him know you'll help, when he is ready to try. You can call free 800-quit now to learn more.
