Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Tell them that you don't want to lose them.Yes.it's hard to quit smoking but at least they can slow down on it.They should understand you.

tell a friends perferablly a adult so they can do something about it or write it in a letter

The best you can do is to let them know how bad it is for them and their health. That's all you can do, let them quit on their own.

It will be better soon, i know this friend who used to drink a 12 pack of budlight every day when he lost his best hunting dogs named ernie and roy.

There are two main ways to let people in your family know how you feel - talking directly to them, or writing. These can include writing emails, making telephone calls, or whatever you are most comfortable with.
Telling people how you feel can make you feel better, but it's also important to understand that your family members are responsible for their own decisions. While it's reasonable for you to worry about their health, if they aren't willing to quit smoking there's not a lot you can do.
You CAN offer to support them if they want to quit, but other than that the most helpful thing would just be to have open and honest conversations with them.
It can be hard to open up to people, but it's usually worth it.
Best of luck.

I completly understand your feelings. When I was younger my mother was smoking when she was pregnate with my brother he was born fine but 3 1/2 weeks later he died of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) although common chances are increased if the mother was smoking. I was crushed and so was she but after he died she continued to smoke. Tell them how you feel and say that you are really concerned about them. You have there best interest in mind and you wouldnt want to be without them. They may see your concern and consider it.
