A lot of people who try to quit smoking can't do it because deep down they really don't want to. It scares me to think that I could lose him someday due to this terribly unhealthy habit. I've known several people who have passed away due to lung problems and it's so sad to think that this could have been prevented.
There is no way to force someone to quit smoking though...no matter how many times you tell them that it's bad for them, they will quit when they're ready. I firmly believe that. My mom used to smoke and she HATED when ppl were always telling her to quit. She ended up quitting when she was ready. |
I agree you can't force someone to quit unless they really want to quit and you are just the excuse they need to actually do it. To me it's a legalized drug. My grandfather use to grow tobacco this year was the first year he hadn't in years. He would stay sick with a cold and allergies all the time. We tried to tell him that it was more than likely due to him handling the tobacco. But, as we all know you can't tell men anything once that get something in their minds(No offense to the men on the forum). Of course it's even harder to try and tell a 70+ year old man.
