Is it possible to quit smoking?
How do you encourage a person to quit smoking that has been smoking since the age of 16?

Making someone quit smoking is a very difficult thing. It is completely up to the person to quit the habit. One requires a strong will and desire to quit. These are not the only factors. You may find very interesting tips to quit smoking, do follow the link Stop Smoking | Quit Smoking | Smoking Cessation . This site is completely dedicated to stop smoking and I personally think it will certainly help.
All the Best

I recommend the book How to quit smoking the easy way by Alan Carr…..I know it sounds to good but, the way he explains addiction and why people continue to smoke is so enlightening! My mother in law smoked since she was 13 and after my husband and I bought her that book…..she stopped….and views it totally differently!! She is 48 now

I started smoking when I was 14 years old. I quit in 2007 on my 39th birthday. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I was only able to do it because 1. I gave it to God. 2. I kept picturing myself dying of lung cancer. I made myself, constantly, think of saying goodbye to my 8 young children. I am thankful every day now that I quit. I never thought I would, ever. I miss it sometimes, a lot. Especially after the weight I gained. I would much rather be overweight than dying of lung cancer though. There is now a pill smokers can take to quit that also helps aid in the weight gain. It is supposed to help you not gain weight. My husband still smokes and I beg him, every day, to quit for his children. A person really has to want to quit, though.
