Sad to say it, but usually loved ones won’t quit unless they really want to, no matter what those they love say. They may wish they didn’t smoke, but still like doing it. My dad smoked since he was 16, and I remember him trying to quit on 4 different occasions and it didn’t stick. It took him being hospitalized at 52 for emphysema and his doctor telling him if he didn’t quit smoking now he wouldn’t live to see his grandchildren to finally motivate him to finally quit and stick with it.
Many hospitals have support groups for people who want to quit smoking. It might be helpful for your mom to be with others who are in the same situation.

Maybe it would help if you tell her facts about what smoking can do to her. Try telling her some of these hard truth about smoking.
Did you know that smoking causes the same cellular defect found in people with Werner’s Disease? Werner’s Disease is a rare genetic disease, which causes its sufferers age excessively and prematurely. Research proves that smokers also tend to die prematurely of heart disease and cancer and experts are asking themselves if there may be a link.

Well basically tell her to start smoking and electronic cigarrette, this will be a start, because this is healthier, cheaper, and better than the other cigarettes.
