Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Just tell him what you told us. Your worried about him and that you dont like when he smokes. My dad is dieing from it right now and its sad to watch, dont be afraid to tell your dad you care about his health.

dont you hate it when people smoke? its disgusting. If you ever learn anything new in school about the dangers of smoking TELL HIM! go online and find all the ingredients in a cigarette theres some nasty stuff in it like rat posion, floor cleaner, stuff to preserve dead bodies and plenty of toher stuff.Find stuff on the internet about smoking.Or write him a letter explained why it hurts you soo much that he smokes.Im sure he will evantually quite because he knows it hurts you.Hope i could help you out!

Tell him that it can do a lot of harm to his body if he continues. The best thing to do is never to start. If he still won't listen, have someone else talk to him or get him to go to a support group.

tell him you are worried about his health. for hi to quit smoking he will have to see a doctor . thry will give him less nickeltine till he can do without it don't worry i no your dad can do it

Tell him how you feel about him smoking and that you want him stop because you want him to be around for along time. Hopefully if you tell him that in a nice way he will think twice before lighting up again. Also he will think about what he can do to quit the habit. I hope that I helped but if not you can visit me at my column.

Let him handle it seriously! He is an adult and this is a very adult issue to deal with. This is totally why kids should never start smoking is harder to stop than Heroin is plain and simple. Everyone who is hooked wants to stop and or knows they cannot or won't try. It's a hard and aggrivating process when they do start let alone fail.
You know that he knows all the doom this can cause. Leave it in his hands. When he decides to quit is his decision and you really should not say anything. Mark Twain wrote "It's easy to quit smoking I have done it hunderds of times." Just like alcholism this is hard to lick if ever. He will do it in time and knows all the methods used to stop and to seek support. Do not worry though he will one day make a decision on his own. There are a lot of elderly smokers too...Either rate it's his decision and choices to make. Just be the best daughter you can and understand regardless. He's not going anywhere right now.

Tell him your concerns, but don't force him to do anything. Smoking isn't an easy thing to just stop doing, and some people really enjoy doing it. It's ok to care for your dad, but at the same time it's selfish to force what you want on him.
]
You could try to talk to him, but he is an adult and therefore can do whatever he wants. I doubt that he'd quit just because you tell him side effects he's probably hearf millions of times.

You should look up lung cancer and smoking online. Get all the bad things that happen because of smoking. Get a picture of a smokers lung. Show all these things to your dad and explain to him that you actually care about him and don't want him to get hurt and you don't think smoking is smart.
Hope my advice helps

Smoking is defiantly tough. I took a class on it, learning how to deal with family matters, its better to tell him how you feel. Now I don't no your relationship with your dad, but you must care about him! So I would say, Dad I am worried about you, I know about the risks of smokers and I will help you get throught quiting. Keep encouraging him too. If he allows you, if not then just give him space, some people have there own ways of doing things so defiantly speak up and say you care! ;) Good Luck!
