How can I help or convince my mother to quit smoking?
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.
