I am smoking for longer than 25 years now I started at about 18 and never managed to stop though I know how bad it is especially regarding my health and that is why I always hoped my daughter won't have the same problem but I have mistaken for my daughter started smoking and she is only 16 and refuses to stop smoking. Is there any advice on how I could make her stop smoking for I really care about her health and am willing to do anything to make her stop smoking?
I think you should stop smoking at first place I mean at least you owe it to her since it is very possible you have made her think smoking is perfectly normal. You know how it goes-if parent smokes it is most likely the kids would become smoker one day and I don't get it how come you are so concerned for practically whole her life your daughter is being a smoker and I don't think it would be easy now make her think of smoking like something not that good. I never smoked and I have 17 y/o daughter that doesn't even have a slightest idea of smoking for basically it is all about family approach and general lifestyle we are used to growing up so first and most important help step in your case would be if you quit smoking in which manner you would show your daughter what is right and admit that you were mistaking through all those years while smoking and try to show her some pictures of lung cancer patient's for example and teach her how devastate for her health smoking could be.
