My mom had gastric bypass, and she had to quit smoking. She is having a knee replacement done this month,but doesnt have to quit. Im thinking about having the lap band done, but there is nothing on the webiste stating I have to quit. I have no problem doin this, b/c I believe it is for a good cause..but I am curious to why you have to quit for this surgery but not others.

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.

I am 14 so my mother will kill me if shes finds out. I been smoking for about a year and half. Any ideas?
Neon my friends wont stop me they are the ones who pressured me to start.

I wonder- I want to tell my mom how many there are. I want to rub it in her face and show her how easy it really can be to quit (she is in denial)

In detail please. I’m trying to get my mom to quit.
I don’t like the way I phrased that. i’m trying to help her quit.

I really don’t want her to die from cancer or get one of those machine things through the throat. She smokes 4-5 a day and I keep telling her to quit but she just ignores me. What would be a good way to make her stop smoking.
