How do you tell someone you want them to stop smoking without hurting their feelings?!


Question: How do you tell someone you want them to stop smoking without hurting their feelings.?
Answers:
I think it depends on your relationship with them, but first you have to let them know that you care about them. Maybe show them some movies on youtube about cigarrettes and all the tar that goes into their lungs. They show scientific experiments about it on youtube. also, it affects every organ in their body and makes them smell bad, have yellow teeth, their house will stink, etc.. It will also be hard to get a job in a lot of places, because there will be no place that allows smoking to take breaks (example: a lot of hospitals have smoking bans even outside on their grounds).

It will also increase their medical insurance premiums and chances of being covered for life insurance. \

Maybe ask them to go to a smokers anonymous meeting with you. Offer to be their coach and look forward to some sort of award/ celebration/ trip together/ eat out, etc. for not smoking for a certain period of time. For each day they don't smoke, reward them somehow and encourage and support them. Make them feel that you are there for them and love them.
