She is 42, and she has been smoking since she was a teenager. She smokes quite a bit, plus there is history of heart disease and cancer in our family. My grandmother (her mom) died in her early 50s from heart disease. Other than smoking, she is pretty healthy. I am really worried about her, but she is stubborn and acts like I am trying to boss her around when I suggest her quitting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I should have mentioned that she quit a few years ago for several months and then started back. I think it is kind of a stress reliever for her. She has a really stressful job.

You can’t. She will not quit until she convinces herself that she needs to. It is her choice.

Ask her to fill out her will (and living will) and request that everything of value be left to you and get some funeral service package prices and ask her which one she likes best. Be serious about it when you approach her because it will get her to think about the future.

smoking is a matter of life and death. but living itself is quite harmful. body deteriorates by nature or by nurture, smoking pacifies these facts. I am a smoker since i was eighteen, now i am thiorty one. if i have something better to do i must have quitted it a long time ago.
