How Can I Help My Mom Stop Smoking?

I’m only an 11 year old girl, but I want to help my mom to stop smoking. My dad and 12-year old brother are also trying to help, but does anyone have any suggestions on helping us? She’s kinda cranky since she tryed to quit, but still sneaks a few puffs, any help?

   I smoked for over 40 years, having quit and gone back several times. I finally tried something new and have been smoke-free for about a year. This is what I did: whenever I wanted a cigarette, I’d smoke half of one. I did that for a couple of weeks, then I’d just take about four or five puffs, only smoking every other time I wanted a cigarette. I did that for a couple of weeks until I was down to 2 drags on a cigarette, maybe 4 times a day. Then, I decided that when that pack ran out, I’d buy no more.
   Quitting cold turkey is just about as effective as quitting heroin cold turkey. Your body is just as addicted to nicotine and you have to wean yourself off it, like heroin addicts do with methadone. If you quit cold turkey, the craving is huge, while weaning yourself off of it, there is no craving left and your body is accustomed to being without it. Good Luck, my friend!

   Well the only and the best way is to tell her the bad stories of the smoking. Tell her about you live shorter, you live a depressed life. Then if she stills resists then attack her with arguments. ARGUE and ARUGUE untill she gets convinced. Do something, like talk les and less to her, do something that will hurt her quite a bit that she will stop slowly smoking. When she says that i want to quit…then make here slowly quit. Like once today, then 2 days from now, then 3, then 4 and so on untill she has fuly quited. But make sure it dosn’t go into habbit. When you go in to 5 days, then change it to 10 immeditly, then 15, then if needed change it to 20. This will make her quit smoking!
   Hope this helps!
   P.S.
   Don’t make an argument that will break up your family!

   Let her know how much she means to you. Tell her you need her to be around for a LONG LONG time and if she keeps smoking, that might not happen.
