Family disease: Addiction is a family disease. Mutual support helps. Your mom might consider attending nicotine anonymous. You may also be affected by her addiction. If so, you might consider attending codependents anonymous.

Needs to be Seen: Shortness of breath can be a symptom of lung disease, especially in someone who smokes a lot. She should probably be evaluated by a doctor and may need treatment. Encourage her to see a primary care doctor, like family medicine or internal medicine, as soon as possible to get a solid evaluation and physical exam.
