my mom is the same way. ive been trying to get her to quit since.... well i remember being like 4 and flushing her cigarets down the toilet so its been a while. something i would recomend, though it didnt work on my mom, is ask her how your supposed to know that smoking is bad. tell her that if she doesnt quit smoking youll start. if that doesnt work then tell me what else you come up with lol. hiding/stealing the cigs doesnt work though she can just get more. another you can try is telling her to put an equal amount of money as she spends on cigarets into a jar, then total up teh money at the end of the month.

well BY GOD... we wouldn't want it hurting your KITTEN... and the DOG TOO?!?! ... honey give it up... youre dog and cat COMBINED wont live more than half of your entire life... theyre going to die... and as for your parents... your mom could die of obesity maby shes just looking out for you, plus your position as a child is to bury your parent... so youll do it a couple years earlier... at least you get it out of the way... get some febreeze and move on

Well, tell her this, it's sure to work. Walk up to her, sit her down, say it's important.

"mom, you love me right? You're there for me right? Well... I love you too, and I really want you to be here for me now. And not just now, but in the future too... and I'm scared that if you keep smoking like you are, you won't BE there in the future, and that scares me."

luck!

I've an idea. Start to pretend to smoke and she'll start worrying. She'll tell u to stop and u say, "I WONT STOP UNTIL U DO."

Tell her how worried you& the whole family is about her smoking& risks of lung cancer! She should understand how upset it makes you all, and maybe she'll consider quitting.

Tell her to get one of those smoking lozanges.. I'm not exactly sure what they're called. But they're supposed to stop people from smoking and if they're sucking on them every hour or two they won't feel the need to eat anything else and they won't get fat. Tell her you're really worried about her and you're scared she's going to die. Hope I helped! Leave me one if I can do anything else for you =c)

Love, racheL

Also, if she's worried about being fat or ugly or something like that say it's making her look bad with yellow teeth or bad breath and yellow fingers from the smoking.
