How do you stop a smoker from smoking downstairs

[Tigger]

I had the opportunity to witness the effects of smoking on an infant. My son had to be admitted into Special Care Nursery in KK because of some complication with his birth. Next to him in the nursery was this really small pre-term baby girl (1.7kg), everyday that I was there, she would be crying constantly from the discomfort. My wife and I were trying to second guess what was her complications that landed her in Special Care. Just then, her parents came in, they had an extremely strong cigarette smoke. And as much as they displayed their tenderness with her, from our daily encounter with them, they were still smoking like Senoko Chimnery. So despite the predicament of their daughter from the effects of smoking, the message was not going through. So sad!

Yah... that's really sad... and at no fault of the little girl

Think its difficult to ask someone to quit unless they do it for their own sake. To quit for GF, WIFE, CHILDREN, MOTHER, FATHER, useless they will resume the habit onces they meet up their kakis. Dun see cigar as a simple thing. Its associated with social and emotional ties. People sometimes smoke for peer acceptances, smoke for environment acceptances, smoke for comfort, smoke for pressure reduction and last but not least, smoke for leisure (nothing to do). It all centered against "ME". So, to quit it, it muz be out of the concern for "ME, the "SELF".

just to share... i think one of the factors that convinced my dad to quit smoking was the health of his children...
