@stacy-furtado I'm sorry.. but you have to stop your mom from smoking..! We needs moms most in th world 🌎

Offer lots of encouragement. Don’t nag them about quitting – wait for them to say it’s time to quit. Let them know that you’re proud of them. And instead of offering advice, ask how you can help.
Give them practical help. Help make a quit kit. Include gum, toothpicks, mints – anything they might use instead of tobacco. You can even add pictures of loved ones.
Help them stay busy. It will ease the urge to use tobacco – a feeling that usually passes in five minutes or less. Make a list of things to do together, like taking walks, doing yard work, going to the movies, the mall or to smoke-free restaurants.
Let them know you understand. Have patience. It can be tough to learn new ways to do things without tobacco. Simple things, like taking a break or relaxing after a meal, can be hard. Don’t be surprised if the quitter acts grumpy or nervous. This is a normal part of quitting. And don’t take grouchy comments personally.
Offer your help. Think of ways to make the first week less stressful. Help with chores or other things.
Keep offering. Quitting is a step-by-step process. An urge to smoke can happen many months after quitting. Listen well when they talk about it, remind them how far they have come, and keep offering help.

@ragnar-lothbrok Taking a puff or smoking a cigarette or two is common when a person is quitting. If someone you know who is trying to quit has a relapse, lend your support and let him or her know that you care. Always remember to stay positive and never scold, nag, or make them feel guilty.

@ragnar-lothbrok it's very helpful guidance bruh..!

@ragnar-lothbrok
Don’t give up. Don’t give up on your efforts to encourage and support your loved one. Research shows that most people try to quit smoking 5 to 7 times before they succeed. Think of relapse as practice for success – it means they are one step closer to quitting for good.
Encourage them. Praise them for quitting, and encourage them to try again. Remind them how long they went without a cigarette before the slip. Studies show that most people who don’t succeed in quitting are ready to try again in the near future. Help them remember all the reasons why they wanted to quit.
Help them to learn from the attempt. It takes time and skills to learn to be a nonsmoker. A failed attempt to quit is an opportunity to learn about triggers and what works and what doesn’t – information that is valuable for successful quitting in the future.
Tell them this is normal. It’s normal to not succeed the first time you try to quit. Tell them that, now that they know they can get through the worst part, they can get even further next time.

It is good, but talking someone out of an addiction they don't want to stop is not very effective

Four major points I gat it bruh...!

@ragnar-lothbrok
If You Are a Smoker
●Smoke outside and always away from the quitter.
●Keep triggers such as cigarettes, matches and lighters out of sight.
●Don’t ever offer the quitter a smoke – even as a joke.
●Join them in their effort to quit. It’s better for your health, and it will help those you are trying to support.

I used to smoke. You can mention it, but sometimes you've got to let people fight their own battles. I hated it when people tried to make me stop, made me want to do it more.

@ragnar-lothbrok Apart from enjoying the taste and effect, I smoked as a social crutch. Once my life stayed getting better, and I matured,I eventually found I didn't need them
