My dad has been smoking for as long as I can remember. He started when he was a teenager, he smokes outside and no infront of my sister and I because he doesn’t want us to start. I really want him to stop because I don’t want him to die. I know it’s his choice but anyways I can help him stop? Thanks.

My dad is a really heavy smoker, he almost always has been. He goes out for a smoke almost every other hour. My mom got him to stop once, but then we drove cross-country 3 years ago, and he went out for a smoke he said it was "just one, its no big deal" but he has been since, and he is already showing signs of lung cancer. Please help!

21 year old male. Soon to be dad.

I’ve used an awful lot of scare tactics. This biggest one yet…

My grandmother (her mother died) of Alzheimer’s and had really bad cataracts. These have both been linked (somehow, it’s just the tactic I use) to smoking.

I’ve blamed my mother for my asthma and allergies, since I grew up in a smoke filled house. Every time I go to visit my mom, even though she keeps her smoking to her bedroom and bathroom, I still get sick.

My husband and I have recently decided to try to start a family. I don’t want to expose my kid to cigarette smoke. I don’t want to deny access to the child, but I hate the idea of visiting my folks and exposing the child to the smoke.

My dad’s also smoke pipe tobacco. He should be easier to convince to stop than my mom.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I know there are others concerned like myself.

(Serious answers only. Please no point hogging.)

I want my dad to stop and he does to, but he has tried before, using a patch, but it made him sick and he stopped after like a day or two… Should he have sticked with it or is there a better way? He has been smoking for about 25-30 years.

My dad is 68years old he has very high blood pressure also he has very bas heart. What kind of medication he can take or home treatment. Please help. Thank you.
He has bad heart history.

My dad has high blood pressure and was prescribed some medication to lower it. He has to keep taking it for as long as his doctor tells him it’s ok to stop but his medication (Tarka) is pretty expensive and sometimes he can’t afford it so he just stops taking it. I worry that something might happen to him when he does this. Does anyone know where I can find Tarka for less (he currently pays for a 30 day supply of Tarka 2/240mg) or do you know of a natural way to lower blood pressure?
