What can i do to persuade my mom to quit smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Help her, but...: The decision has to be her finally realizing the toll it is taking on her body. She has to want to stop smoking. You can beg, plead, etc but that will never work.Try giving her some incentive to get started. Tell her you'll scrub the kitchen floor if she doesn't smoke today. Try telling her you'll give her a foot massage or paint her nails if she can kick it for a day.Then take it a day at a time!
