My name is Sophie and I'm 14. I like answering questions about most things, but I'm pretty good at answering questions about teenage life.

Hello!
First, I have been in a similar situation as yourself. My mum, my dad and my nan all smoked. I was always telling them to give up and in the end they listened to me. =)
It's a bit harder if your mum has already been in a stop-smoking program, but maybe you should try speaking to her again and telling her that you really want her to succeed.
Maybe she should try nicotine gum or patches, which worked well for my parents if she already hasn't. The thing is that my dad's now addicted to the GUM (lol!) but don't worry about the word 'nicotine', they're 100% safe. Nicotine IS addictive, but it's not dangerous, not even in cigarettes, where other ingredients are causing the problems and nicotine is the just the addictive part.
