would you let him smoke? Visit us!!! Think less, Live more. www.goodvibez.net Can I really help someone who is trying to quit smoking? Yes. Once a smoker has decided to quit, they are most likely to make it when friends and family give their help and support. If your friend hasn’t decided to quit yet, you can help them think of reasons for quitting, set a target quit date and offer to help in any way you can. How do I begin? First of all, quitting is different for each smoker. So, ask your friend how you can be most helpful. This will show that you care and that you really want to help. Maybe you've already tried to help someone and they weren't successful. That's okay. Remember you can be a big help, but it's not your fault if they aren’t successful this time. What kinds of things can I do to help the smoker trying to quit? • Tell your friend that you think she can make it this time - even if she has tried to quit before and failed. In fact, most smokers have to "practice" quitting a few times before they quit for good. •For the first few days after the smoker quits, be ready to help. He may want to talk all the time or he may just want extra help when a tough situation comes up, like a coffee break, a party or after a meal. •Offer to call or visit to check on how she is doing. Ask how she's feeling, not just whether or not she's still not smoking. •No nagging, scolding or preaching - this just does not work. Instead, let him know how much you admire him for trying to quit. I quit smoking a long time ago. Should I tell my friend it was pretty easy for me? Quitting smoking is different for every one. You can be of particular help to your friend since you already went through it. Let your friend know how glad you are that she is trying to quit and praise how well she is doing. Ask how she is feeling and what you can do to help. Mention all the good things you have felt since quitting. Short-term things are easier to understand -- like fresher breath, more energy and no more smelly clothes, stained teeth or fingers. Many ex-smokers talk about getting control of their lives when they quit. Forget any talk about how easy it was for you to quit. Most smokers are addicted and it's hard for them to quit. Instead, tell your friend that 45 million Americans have quit smoking and that she can do it too.
