  Hello Guys,

  Im Joanne here. Im 25 this year. I have an elder brother who

   is in the food industry. He is a heavy smoker and has been smoking since his teengage years. He is 34 this year.

   

   

   

  Im concerned that heavy smoking leads to diseases, illnesses and Cancer. The more he smoke the higher the chances of him getting Cancer and illnesses.

  We bought the Nicolette products like Inhalers and gums but it didnt work. He has been smoking for too long and is addicted to it already. He has alot of stress from work and money issues too.

   

  Can you guys give me some advices to help him to quit his heavy smoking? I need help to solve this situation. Thank you for your effort and advices.

  Send him for counseling sessions, they will show him some real images of smokers lungs and teeth to show him the consequences of heavy smoking. They will also brief him on what substances are present in a cigarette such as methanol and tar(USED TO MAKE ROADS) inside and what effects they cause...this should be sufficient to scare him off. Tell him that if he smokes, not only he suffers, but his family and loved ones will also suffer..

  I smoke for 22yrs, 1 to 2 pack a day.

  I quitted, using nicorette. I did not work for him is becuase he dont have the determination or a reason to quit. Is just that simple.

  Not becuse too long.

  agree with the above commenter.

  I hate mountain climbing. Even if someone sends me for brainwashing session how great mountain climbing and the peak is, I don't care. So counseling sessions will not work

  Pick a choice - by your bro and listen - or, disengage smoking from his behaviour, is bro willing to work towards living better and longer?

  Stress is a life facet and stress is many things to many people. Your bro takes stress and take a smoke. Smoking is stress, no?

  You are very bighearted, if brave, on looking out for bro. Only thing, if bro not looking out himself, at least bro knows you looked out for him.

  You get stress. Your bro stress. Take a little while and spend time out of home, nourish yourself. You live only once, and your bro has his choices he lives.

  You engage others, and your readiness and warmheartedness easily wins friends. Surely you are a go-getter, are you?

  Go forth, live fully, and avoid a similar choice. As much as you favor your bro of anti-smoke, you are very much human and your bro is as well.

  You are only human and human beings of evolution, only, keep going on.
