Stop Cancer
I know this may sound evil, but seriously, how do you get your family member to stop smoking in a sneaky way if they are mad at you for asking all the time and are adamant in their opinions? Are there, like pills I can trick her with and pretend they're vitamins?

Sadly, there is no miracle pill to make one stop smoking. Any "tricking" you may do might cross some ethical lines, but it's just one more situation of do the ends justify the means? You may wish to investigate the possibility of associating smoking with something unpleasant. Whatever negative stimulus you choose to associate with your relative's smoking would have to be quite potent in order to break such a powerful addiction. Reading up on basic psychology might give you some ideas to help you, should you choose to try anything "tricky."

Honestly there is probaley not a way to get them to stop. However when i was younger i use to hide my mom and dads packs of cigerets behind the couch. NOT ALL THE PACKS AT ONCE but one here and there. They never noticed until they cleaned behind the couch. I know your not 5 but its an idea.
=D

No there isn't. You can express your concern about their smoking now and then but that's about all you can really do. Anything else would be illegal.
I might also add that constantly bugging someone about it will with some people make them all that more determined not to quit. Trust me I know this for a fact. The old you aren't going to tell me what to do attitude kicks in. So if you find you are constantly arguing about it, back off some. They probably know how you feel by now. :)
