My dad has smoked for almost 38 years and needs to quit for his health what is the best way he can do that?

he promised he’d quit by October but he smokes up to 4 or 5 a day and I don’t think he’s going to make it. My mom is convinced he isn’t going to but I’m determined that he will because it’s unhealthy, it makes him smell bad, and his whole life revolves around whether he has enough cigars or not. Any tips on how I can help him quit?

Its driving my absolutely crazy, my dad smokes non-stop everyday, on the balcony and I can frequently smell it… I’ve been trying to persuade him to quit for years, but he never does. The subject of smoking always ends up in a heated argument and it really starts to affect the relationship a lot.

Plus the cigarettes cost a lot due to laws and it really gets on my nerves because its a waste of money. I really am concerned that I have been exposed one time to many, I have to eat dinner a lot and the guests smoke so much that I am concerned about getting illnesses from second hand smoke…

The facts don’t really work aganst him (well he never pays tha slightest attention on stuff that says bad things about smoking)…

I need help trying to get my mom to quit smoking. She has ben smoking for long time. My dad siad she promised to stop when they got married but she still smoked.
I have tryed to talk to me mom about it but she just got upset and grounded me. I told her why she sould stop, like my frends one time saw a buch of segrets under my deck( she hides them there not very well) it was not cool when they saw it, she says she want me to vist her when she old but she may die when she’s young because of smoking and i told her a couple of other things, but like i said all she did was ground me and get mad at my dad. My dad has basicly given up after all this years. Im going to show her some pictures of a damiged lungs. i dont care if she grounds me i just want here to quit smoking. Can any one give me some advice?

Hello, my dad is trying (and determined) to quit smoking. Some choices that he is willing to take is Nicoteen Gum, Nicoteen Patch, Chantix, or Cold turkey (when you quit smoking without any help). Please pick the option and list positives and negatives about it.
Oh yeah, and just to let you know, my dad only smokes about 1-2 cigarrettes a day. So he’s not a heavy smoker. He’s just still addicted to it.

Guys, both me and my dad are smokers. I have been smoking for 4 years, but my dad took up smoking about 20 years ago. I am ready to quit and I hope that if I urge him to take my example by telling him that it will be easier for both of us to leave cigarettes aside if we have sb to look up to, he will quit. What other strategies could I use? Or is there a product I can put in his food for him to stop feeling the need to smoke without knowing why? I must say that he is coughing all the time and he has a bad physical condition. Please help

My dad has been smoking for about 25 years, and I’ve allready tried everything I’ve got. I’m very worried about him.
