How do you stop a smoker from smoking downstairs

[eniroc]

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...

U ve a great dad.
