Thread: Help to quit smoking?

What age is the person now?

Not that that really matters - how does one encourage anyone else to give up smoking? The problem is that person has to want to stop. These days you'd have to be living in a cave in the middle of nowhere not to be aware that smoking is harmful - if a person refuses to apply that knowledge to his/her own situation then reminding him/her is not going to be any more effective than those government warnings on the packet.

Offering a financial incentive might help - something like 'for every pack of cigarettes you would have bought but don't I'll put the cash value in a piggy bank for you and after 3 months you get to spend it'. Of course that isn't necessarily going to work on someone with financial independence.

The first time I gave up (I slipped after 14months) somebody told me they didn't think I could do it. that challenge gave me an incentive. The second time I thought I might be pregnant and stopped until I found out I wasn't - having done 2 weeks I thought I might as well stick with. I'm still sticking with it (seven and a half years and counting now) - the difference was I really wanted not to smoke by then.

Note: I started when I was 15, first 14 months off when I was 20, last cigarette smoked when I was 28.
