yeah i had no issues at all quitting myself, it was literally just realizing there is absolutely not a single negative consequence to stopping
how do i get this through to longer term smokers? it's an immediate barrage of 'i'm stressed' and 'i would waste the money some other way anyway' or just straight up angry ranting
if they do actually accede somewhat, they immediately make a plan on how to continue smoking ('i'm going limit smoking by x amount every week until i've quit')

Smoking increases testosterone. Why would anyone stop?
Because the government who wants everyone to be fat and lazy slobs says so? Imagine being so retarded

Get him or her on the patch, get him or her to go to a steam or sauna every other week. Buy him or her gum. Show them pictures of what their lungs look like and cancer patients that smoked.

you literally just need to keep trying and don't beat yourself up when you 'relapse'. As other anons have said, you actually need to want it though. Stop talking about it and thinking about it and tell yourself "fuck this I'm done" and refuse to do it. Chewing gum (cheap shit you can get in bulk) helped me a lot.

Just realized this is for a relative, there's really nothing you can do about it unless they really want it themselves.

smoker here. multiple people have tried, all have been promptly told by me to go fuck themselves. Best advice I can give you is not to try, you'll just push them into it more by begging a nagging bitch
If you help them address the root of their issue, the coping mechanism ceases to feel necessary to clung to for dear life
