help to stop a loved one from smoking

Post a new topicby riley11 on Wed Aug 29, 2007 8:17 am


I know he has to decide to stop himself but it's so hard to sit back and not do anything. I've cried, begged, threatened, and even bought the patch for him. Any ideas on what else I can try?

Hey riley11,
Your right when you say he has to decide for himself to stop. I just read a few stories that maybe you could share with you loved one and possibly help convince him to quit.

Good Luck!
