Stop smoking.......?!


Question:

Stop smoking.......?

My mam is 52 and has smoked since well before i was born and i am 29 she also smoked through all pregnancies and has 5 children in total my youngest sister is 13.
The smoking has made her look 10 times her age and she weighs about 7 stone she also has really bad joints in her wrists and knees wich sieze up quite a lot. Me and my sister below me have tried everything to help her give in...telling her we dont wanna lose her telling her my little sis could be a teenager without a mam everything but she just refuses to even try and it can be upsetting to see her keep smoking like she dosent care.
We are genuinly frightened of losing her but nothing we say gives her any incentive. any suggestions shock tactics or stories would be great, we cant think of anything else. doctors but she wont go and patches which she wont try have been suggested


Answers:

You could always buy her some nicotine gum 4mg, i use these and they really work. Hide her cigarettes and try and get her to chew one first, it takes the cravings away and you can chew up to twelve of these per day.
My daughter begged me to give up for a long time and i now have, it's been four months and i still use the gum at the moment.
I know you are worried and it aint easy for someone to give up because it's like a drug to them, you will have to keep trying and perservering with her thats all.
Good Luck
