okay, well my mom and her boyfriend smoke. a lot.
i only visit on saturdays, but it drives me CRAZY because whenever i come home i smell like ciggerettes. and i dispise that smell. i don't like people who smoke that much either, because i have heart issues and i can't really breathe around it.
how can i try and convince my mom and her boyfriend to stop smoking? i already tried, and i told them how bad it is for you and everything, but they didnt' care. i WANT them to care. i hate this.
can someone give me advice on how to avoid this? or something? (link)

you need some sort of bold statement. it's not just about you, it's about them DYING. take pictures off the internet of black smoker lungs and stuff like that and tape it to your mom's cigarettes, hang it on the door and under it write something like "stop killing yourself" sit your mom down and honestly tell her how much she means to you and that you don't want her to leave you, because honestly she is already going to die earlier than if she never smoked, that's the truth and it's sad but every cigarette takes 11 minutes off of a person's life, and that adds up, plus they could get lung cancer.
just be bold and DON'T BACK DOWN do everything you can to make them quit, nothing is too extreme and if they think you're being juvenile, tell them that that's fine with you, as long as they quit, it's important PLEASE be strong, it affects your health as well
