Answers:
I know exactly what you mean...my mom is EXACTLY the same. the hard thing is that most people who smoke a lot or have for a long time are very defensive about it. If you ask them to stop they get pissed and you end up just walking away. The only thing i can recommend doing is just sit down with her after she has had a smoke and just talk to her. Tell her that you love her but you hate watching her kill herself, and you don't think it's fair for her to get mad at you because you are looking out for her best interest, as well as your own. Tell her exactly how much it bothers you and that you don't want to be isolated from her because she has a bad habit. If that doesn't work tell her that you don't want to be anywhere around her if she's smoking...cuz it's not fair to you. The thing smokers do not realize is that their smoking is a truly SELFISH ACT. Not only are they taking seconds from their own life away, they are knowingly taking time from your own. YOU MUST TELL HER THOUGH BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!-----My mom has smoked for thirty years, and my sisters and i told her a million times to please stop, we told her all about secondhand smoke and the damage she could be causing us...she ignored us for years, getting angry at the mere mention of quitting. At 27 my sister found out she had lung cancer, she has never smoked a day in her life. She had to have surgery and khemo therapy. My mom said she never meant to hurt us but the truth is despite her intentions, smoking is bad. My sister paid the price for my moms stupidity,,,it wasn't until my sisters hair started falling out that my mom finally quit. PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO JUST TALK TO HER! She will get mad probably but tell her she's not being fair to you. You'll find the strength to talk to her, but please- don't let her do to you what my mom did to my sister.

I don't think that you can make her stop smoking if she doesn't want to quit, as smoking is her personal choice. And it is kinda good that she doesn't smoke in the house.

Maybe next time you should just ask her politely to not blow the smoke in your direction, or go somewhere else while she smokes for 5 minutes.

you can leave a quit paphlet in the lounge - dont force her too quit.
Spend more time in public places and walk around, you cant smoke in those places have fun and do other stuff.
But dont think of you taking time away from her cigeretes - think of the best way you can help, without offending her\ and you do it naturally....

if she rejects a hard question to quit - dont force her - pressing her to quit and bringing it up is enough to remind her she can quit.Health Question & Answer
