How Can I Get My Girlfriend To Quit Smoking?
May 24, 2009 by admin
Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
My girlfriend smokes. I want her to quit. She doesn’t do it around me but I can always smell it and I just hate how it can effect her health. I have tried to use guilt, saying how its unhealthy to everyone but she just gets pissed when anyone tries to lecture her. she knows how bad it is and she kind of wants to quit. besides her smoking she is the most amazing girl ever.
Try the Money argument:
Make no threats about it. If you dislike it that much, break up with her. This is decision that is very personal, but when made, requires the support of the people around her. It’s a tough decision, but with the cost of cigarettes seeming to go up just as fast as the stock market falls, now is a better time than any to stop.
That is something you can use to convince her to stop. The money factor is huge. For a girl, image how many extra pairs of shoes you could buy with your smoke money? If you smoke a pack a day, that’s about $7 per day, times 30. $210/month times 12 = 2520. For many people, that’s a percentage of their income that they could be using somewhere else- like putting food on the table, gas in their cars, or contributing towards healthcare.
Try the Health argument:
My father was a forty year smoker and was literally killing himslef adn we argued a lot about his smoking! Then i decided to go on the website and get pictures of tongue, lung, and throat cancer and i wrapeed them up with a starting kit to help to quit smoking. IT took him 6 months but he is smoke-free for the past 3 years. Recently he started loosing his breath adn they found out his lung capacity is very low. He told me if i haven’t shown him the pictures of cancer and the pictures of my children and told him if wanted to miss out of all that is dear and loving to him to keep smoking! I also refused for them to be at his house if he continues to smoke! I guess maybe if she has someoneclose to her it may help her!
