usually takes something very drastic to make someone quit an addiction. either give them an ultimatum or smoke yourself to death to show them the light.

I would punch my house mate in the mouth everytime he smoked. this included going to his place of work, waiting 45 min for him to have a smoke break and running out my car and punching him in the face. he doesnt smoke anymore

Every time they light up, beat the shit out of them. And I mean hardcore. Break a finger if you have to. Fear and pain can conquer addiction sometimes. If that doesn't work, continue to beat the shit out of them regardless. They deserve it.

I didn't know /fit/ was for fags to come in and talk about how to get their overweight best friend into shape, I thought it was more to find out what YOU can do to get YOURSELF into better shape.

Fucking christ OP, you gave them information, and they don't care. Big surprise, considering how much anti-smoking stuff is out there these days. Some people like to smoke, some enjoy dipping, you tried but with no success.

You have 2 options.
1. Pester them so much that they no longer speak to you because you're an arrogant motherfucker who can't leave well enough alone.
2. Leave them the fuck alone, and worry about yourself for a change. You can't change anyone but yourself, be a good example, and leave it at that.

But hey, listen to the fags on here that wanna chime in and say beat someone up cuz they smoke. Yes, smart advice. Then again, it's 4chan, what the fuck should you expect.

Wrong in that people can enjoy smoking without suffering the multitude of drawbacks that plague smokers? Prove to me that 100% of smokers suffer from cancer. Prove to me that 100% of smokers suffer from smokers cough.

Some people enjoy it, and it may not adversely affect their health, but hey, it's the internet and a health forum, so you MUST be right. Stupid faggot.

I am right. And I don't have to prove anything to you. Smokers should be beaten up. End of story. I don't care what they look like, how old they are, what sex they are or if they have cancer or not. They should be beaten, and so should you.

You might ask, "Why should they be beaten for something they enjoy?". Well, it's because they're massive faggots for enjoying a retarded activity.

And as I said in a previous post, you can want someone to change as much as possible. The fact is, there's only one person you can change, and that is yourself. Set a good example, give them the information. The rest is up to them.

If they don't listen to you, oh fucking well. Move on and stop being a whiny bitch. Christ, you belong in /fa/ with all the other emo faggots.

Then the crucial difference is whether they want to stop but can't, or are fully aware of the risks and consequences and choose to anyway.
If the latter's the case, I agree, there's nothing anyone has any right to do beyond asking them not to do it in your house.

You seem to think beating someone up does anything but cause pain and bruises. I'm willing to bet you've never attended a psychology course in the history of your being. I'm also willing to bet you were beat as a child and into adolescence.

You're a fucking idiot for even suggesting it, and it shows how fucked up YOU are, not the person doing drugs.

Peer pressure? What the fuck is this, and 80's anti-smoking ad? Every single person I know smokes because they TRIED IT and LIKED IT. Imagine that, inhaling a chemical can make you feel lightheaded and not care about shit for a second.

I guess everyone drinks because of peer pressure. Peer pressure causes theft and stabbings, etc.

Excellent point but...>>350805is also right.

It is important to do everything in your power to stop a loved one from doing something that is effectively killing them (smoking/drugs) but physical harm (at least to children) over any period of time is just going to leave emotional wounds that could end up being psychologically as bad as a spot in the lung 50 years later.

Wrong, the studies are inconclusive as to which are better. The comparison is hard to do, because it's hard to judge equal reward and punishment. Is giving someone chocolate as a reward the equivalent of a slap to the face as punishment? It's hard to quantify. What they do know is both are effective based on the severity of the punishment or reward. The actual recommended way to achieve results is a combination of both.

If it were my son then I'd get his ass in rehab faster than you can say methamphetamine. There is a difference between what you'll do with your kids and what you do with your friends (inb4 CP).
But a) there isn't rehab for smokers that I'm aware of and b) Meth is far more immediately dangerous. That, and I'd probably also be spurred by the fact that society is much more accepting of smoking than hard drugs.

Anyone that's smoked after 1980 knows the risks. They've seen shit in school, on television, in newspapers, on the radio, on the internet. Smoking can cause lung cancer along with other bad shit. Duh.

If you smoke at that point, it's a choice. You accept the risks, and still do it for your reward. Who gives a fuck, seriously.

Or, because.. you know.. YOU'RE ADDICTED. People still make stupid dumbfuck decisions, which includes "trying" that first cigarette. Whether or not that person actually "liked" it for a little while, when it comes time that a person wants to stop, the addiction makes it difficult. Just because a person is doing it, doesn't mean they really want to be doing it. Most of the people who go "YEAH WELL I SMOKE CUZ I LIEK IT" are lying or retarded.

No one smokes because they like it. They do it at first to fit in with your friends. If you think you did it for any other reason, you're a fucking idiot. Everyone hates it at first, cause it feels awful. Your body is telling you not to do this shit. Eventually the chemicals have you addicted, and you have to smoke to feed those cravings. So you still don't like it, but the cravings the cigarette is satisfying feels good.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up. You have no right to go around telling everyone how to live their life. If you think you know what's best for everyone, try getting on some health council, rather than sitting on 4chan for fucking hours. You don't make a difference trolling the internet. You're more about yourself than helping someone anyways.

I understand that you might be concerned about this person, but you can't make up someones mind for them. The more you try and get them to quit, the less likely they'll be to actually listen. Didn't your mother ever tell you "you can't change a man, so don't even try". (probably not because you're a guy, but it works the same for women). If the smoking really bugs you, then look for another girlfriend, or maybe one day she'll quit on her own.

In the United States, smoking is estimated to account for 87% of lung cancer cases (90% in men and 85% in women).[32] Among male smokers, the lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is 17.2%. Among female smokers, the risk is 11.6%. This risk is significantly lower in non-smokers: 1.3% in men and 1.4% in women.
