Answers:
i understand, my boyfriend drinks beer all the time and he's trying to slow down because he cares and want's to have a healthy family. it is hard to stop or slow down, but if you set down with her and have a lil talk with her about it, i know that later on that day she'll thank you and would think about it. that's what i recommend, to set down and tell how you feel.Health Question & Answer

talk to her calmly. tell her you love her. tell her you want her to live.
if she is elder to you use love and affection as a tool.. try find out articles and show her them..deal in a very calm way.. be ready if she gets angry and dont feel hurt for that.. that all is expected unless until she is calm.. after all, you are her well wisher, .... if she is younger then be authoritative.Health Question & Answer

You don't want her to die, you say. Let me tell you something - she is going to die, and so are you. The fact that she smokes doesn't mean that she is going to die any time soon. She still has many decades of life left. Let her enjoy them.Health Question & Answer

I think I would find the scariest smoking stories possible to show her. How about finding some wrinkled up, wheezing person with emphysema to talk to her.? In other words, maybe scaring her would be the most effective way.Health Question & Answer

Like any addiction, the addict has to want to stop...However, statistically your sister will probably quit one day.Health Question & Answer
