Secondhand smoke question?!


Question: Secondhand smoke question!?
Both of my parents have been smokers as long as i can remember and have attempted to quit smoking 3 times now!. but the last time they tried was, like, 3 years ago!. Everytime i bring up how bad it is to smoke and how me and my brother have secondhand smoke, and the risks their taking with their life and mine, they tell me to shutup and mind my own business and im sick of trying to motivate them to quit because they never do, i dont want them to die because of tobacco!. even when i tell them what could happen to me since i got secondhand smoke because of them (lung cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, how over 50,000 nonsmokers die from second hand smoke a year) they basically ignore me!. I dont know what to do!. I have secondhand smoke, like ive said many times before, and my life is at HUGE risk because of THEIR bad life choices!. what should i do now!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
first of all don't worry too much, calm down and relax!. my friend is in the same situation, his whole family smokes but his health is fine!. Not everyone gets affected by secondhand smoke!. If ur parents love u and ur brother they will try to quit!. If u still want to convince ur parents to quit, try telling them more health risks smoking causes for their healths and urs, also try telling them that smoking affects the government!. U can even try reasoning with them, try making a plan for them, like to not smoke before dinner, or in the house, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Harassing them will never work, you might try encouragement only!. Tell them you would like it better if they could live to see your children grow up, and try to stay out of the smoke yourself as much as possible!. It probably won't be much longer before it is illegal to smoke in your own house, while someone else is inside!. Perhaps you could contact your representative, get a bill sponsored!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
