Question: How can one help a smoker to quite smoking!?
Answers:
Keep in mind that a smokers has to really want to quit!. A few things that you can do are:

(a) be considerate, don't smoke around the person trying to quit (if you smoke)

(b) don't mention smoking--even saying "you've gone a whole week without smoking!" is more a reminder than anything else to the person trying to quit

(c) try to keep him/her busy, go places, do things--this will keep their mind off smoking

(d) encourage eating, it's going to replace cigarettes for a time

(e) put no pressure on the person, if he/she says they're going to go back to smoking, tell them it's up to them, that you support whatever they do (the will really has to come from within and guilt won't work so be sure to avoid it)

(f) don't offer coffee or beer, these two things really go well with cigarettes
