I don't, for the life of me, know how to help my mother stop smoking. I threatened to start myself, but didn't see any point in killing myself so idiotically. I bought her products to stop smoking, cried and begged, read on how to help me stop and nothing is working. I know a lot of it has to do with will power, and I believe that's what my mother needs. My mother is a generally strong person when she wants to do something, but even though she has tried a number of times, she has been extremely unsuccessful. I would hate for mu mother to...die, especially from something so incredibly stupid. Please list some of your tips on how some of you managed to stop. Any type of tip would be grately appreciated...thank you all so much. 16bertswife16

Give her the book "The easy way to stop smoking" by Allen Carr for the Holidays. I was a die hard smoker too and I quit with no problem after reading it. I didn't even plan on quitting, I just stumbled across the book, read it and next thing the thought of smoking turned my stomach. Read the post below!

Unfortunately, your mom has to quit for herself, no matter how much you try to convince her.If you have access to the internet, maybe you could down load the book called "Never Take Another Puff" by Joel Spitzer found on http//whyquit.com/. Good Luck to you and to your mom. I have quit now for 10 days and going strong. It was the best thing I could of done for myself. My boys use to always tell me to quit, but I didnt listen either. Keep us informed as to how she is doing.

Wow, thank you so much. You actaully gave me a little confidence. Good luck to you as well!! I think if my mom really wants to do this, she will. I'll go buy the book and give it to her for Christmas. Once again, thank you so much! I will definetley keep in touch! 16bertswife16
