smoking is killing her
my grandma has been smoking for many, many years and sometimes when i think about it it makes me cry. nothing has happened to her yet and i always say to myself "nothing bad has happened to her yet but its just a matter of time and why should she wait" everytime she is with me i ask her why wont she stop and i give her things suggestions but she always says "tried it". how can i get her to really stop? one of my grandmothers already died I DONT WANT HER TO ALSO!

awww..
im in the SAME situation.. me and my grandma are extremely close and it really hurts me when i see her smokee, and ive cried plenty of times over it .. it hurts her seeing mye upset over it .. but shes so addicted to cigarettes, she cant stop.. she bought niccotine patches. and everything.. but she gets nervous and shakes without cigarettes ecause shes so addicted.
and in 01` she hasd a triple bi=pass, which if from smoking, and she had heart surgery, and she nearly died.
but anyways she cant quit unless she wants to.
she can buy patches, inhalers or something to help her quit.
talk to her. maybe if she sees that it hurts you, she`ll stop.
im sorry, i know how you feel sweeite:(
hope i helped<3

I know exactly what your going through. Only thing is, my grandma died from it and I watched her suffer and die from it. She quit when it was too late. I held her hand at the hospital when she died. All I can tell you to do is, be there for her. You can't make somebody stop something they want to do. It's not her fault. Ciggerates are very addictive. There more addictive than heroine according to statistics.

well, i say you stop bugging her about it. maybe, tell her not to do it around you. and it will cut down on her smoking... but honestly ... she is not going to stop unless she really wants to. talk to her about it, and say i already lost one of my grandmas because they smoked, i don't want to lose you too .. and that might inspire her to quit... just support her, and let her know that you love her.

Have you talked to her about it? I mean if it worries you that much then talk to her.

bye her a nicoteen inhaller. get it from walmart ask a local farmasist for info. it works great, ++ shes still getting her nicoteen and not killing herself. if you have to lie and tell her your bffs grandma just died from cancer due to smokeing, somtimes lieing is the las option. explain to her, that you love her and you wnat her to stop and that she meens evreything to you..
goodluck;
i kno wi tshard my mom smoked for like 30-40 years and stopped months ago with the inhaller becuase it was either that or death.

honestly, harsh truth..but you most likey cant get your grandma to quit. she wont quit unless she wants to, and she obviously, doesnt want to. plus shes already old..maybe she doesnt want to live to be 100 living all crippled and shit. just let her be. you said "one of my grandmothers already died, i dont want her to also.." well kid, she wont live forever, dying is a part of life. smoking is a hard habit to break especially if youve been doing it for years and years..maybe you shouldnt be giving her suggestions on HOW to quit as much as you should be giving her reasons on WHY to quit. tell her how bad it is for her health and the people around her, and how much you love her and want her to live as long as possible. but its mostly useless anyway, like i said before, if she wanted to quit she would have. but good luck anyway

I know your intentions are good but she won't quit until SHE wants to quit.
Constant talking about it can also make a lot of smokers get a 'you aren't going to tell me what to do attitude'. Bring it up now and then but don't harp on it a lot. :)
