I wish I knew.
Every time they take a drag, give them a mild shock. (or not so mild)
i don't think you really can. people quit when they're ready... which is hopefully sooner rather than later. my father just began smoking again after having quit for about a month. i wish i knew how to re-program people.
yeah.. they have to want to. all the bladder cancer articles in the world won't do it.
all one can do is lead by example: in order to remind whoever is smoking, that a non smoking lifestyle is a possibility for them. Show them how sweet it is to run after a pretty girl without getting winded. Go snokeling with sharks without having to go up for air every minute. Show them how sweet it is to blow out every candle on a birthday cake.
