A member asked:
How can i convince my mother to quit smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's up to her: People do not stop habits, good or bad, because other people ask or even insist on it. She has to want to change. Leave smoking cessation materials with her, don't nag - tell her you care about her and want her to have a long/healthy life.
