Take her to a rehab to see what she will become.\nPresent her with info on the really bad side effects.\nTell her you love her but your not going to hang out with her while she is abusing her body.

first smokers can use or abuse if they want, \ni agree she is a bit young and school can be affected by it it slows things down and makes it hard to remember even what you are doing or have done i n the last 30 seconds. \nshe should think of her safty guys that are takingadvatage of her have a good chance while high and she should have a buddy with her that can keep a sober eye on her or make a plan to do it where she is safe and can get help easily.  and not make it a priority in her life, it can be recreational useage but its illegal still and she should really think about if its doing more good than harm. don't let her get fuucked up and tell her always stay in control and if she is not tell her she should stop before she can't do something over again. it is done and she has to live with it. \ni would talk to her i talk with my 14 yo cousin about it and how she done it and her experiences and she quit and realized it was not worth keep doing it with all the things she has going in her life. \ni smoke it \nit is not a priority i don't need it i don't get really stoned jsut enought to put a smile on my face and to see life as it is something to enjoy. for me it relaxes me enought so i can see how life is and not just seeing the worries and problems i have, and it is beautiful. iam a happier person but can be happy on my own too. if i don't have it its fine but when i do a $20 bag can last 2-3 weeks. i smoke it hwere i am safe and be around people that don't have a problem with it and things get done that i need to do \nit works like an upper for me but smoking too much can be a bad dragg coming down, so she should think about what it really is to her anad if its what she really wants to do for it to be a part of her life. it is a big choice and needs t osee if it will fit in and not interupt her safety her memory or her control. good luck and enjoy life as you want.

By far, the most important thing is wanting to quit. Once you decide to quit, then just stop. Beware of replacing the old addiction with a new one (some people trying to quit weed might start drinking more, which isn't any better).

Smoking is a tough addiction to quit. The key to stopping is the personal desire to stop. If your mother doesn't have that desire she won't. To help her learn all you can about addiction. You might want to joint a support group to help you. Good luck to you both.

ask her to quit it and stop annoys everyone else

The doctor suggested that she stop smoking. (Many of the following answers are wrong - beware. I am aware that Yahoo Answers puts the question mark in.)

i see where your coming from, and yes marajuana may not be that that bad for you, but again i feel you i know that shes ur sister and u dont care if its super bad or just bad, in the end in ur eyes its still bad and you care for her.the best thing to do is talk to her tell hre i really care about u and i dont want you to be doing something we both know its not the right thing to do, ask her if you were doing it how would she feel? tell her the only reason u are telling her that is cuz u really truly care about her and if you didnt you wouldnt be taking the time of telling her how much this means to you. \nyou also need to know it takes time and dedication from the heart to stop that . so unless she wants to stop then you could only try your best of talkin to her, other than that if she herself doesnt wanna stop then it will take a longer time.\nhope this helped and good luck\n\nGod bless you

I'm sorry to say it, but, you can't. Only Haley can stop doing drugs.  You can be supportive of her and try to lead her in the right direction, by leading her with your example.  But try not to get caught up being an enabler, or letting her manipulate you into doing something that you do not want to do.  People doing drugs like to drag others down with them, and later place blame others for their own short comings.  If you are a youngster, the best thing that you could do for yourself is to notify someone in authority or her parents, and then limit your time around Haley.  It is hard to do this, because you do not want to rat out a friend.. but, it's the best thing that you can do for Haley. But be prepared that if you do this, you will probably end your friendship, she won't appreicate it for  a while, if ever.

Wow... i smoke but i go outside and change clothing when i come back in so my kids wont be around it. Your mom sounds like one tuff lady. have you voiced your concern to her about YOUR HEALTH? if not you should. If she still doesnt want to stop you could always move out or make her move out if it bothers you that much. Geez i cant beleave how stubborn your mom is. I dont see the big deal on going outside to smoke. I feel for you. \n\nGood Luck. one more thought maybe you could show her one of those videos about what happens to your body when you smoke and you could start crying while watching it with her and tell her you dont want her to end up with cancer and die.

Unfortunately, most people addicted to crack have to hit bottom before they realize how screwed up their life has become. You're either really happy (when high) or really miserable (when straight) there is no third direction. Eventually it will devour everything in her life including her friends, family, job, material things etc. I think the best thing you could do for her is spend as much time with her as you can and do normal things, taking long walks, go to the movies, go to the beach or lake and try to maybe do some things at home with her. These things will keep her away from the bad element and will also show her that you can have fun without the drug.

what do you guys mean stop smoking it? thats not even a good answer. i heard water, cranberry joice and vinegar works. go to marijuana.com and read the forums b/c people usually post stuff on that. the morality tales bull shit sucks people, no ones gonna quit smoking weed, so don't even bother posting that s*it.

Tell them how you feel about their smoking however pushing them to stop cold turkey is not the answer. Tell them what happens to smokers and go from there , besides is it really worth the relationship that you have with them?

she would see things differently, only people she can really talk with semi-honestly are those that are addicted as well. Every thought and action she would have would be related to getting high. It is the only reason she gets out of bed. And should she not use then she is sick so sick worse than you could hopefully imagine. That is for startes....

The wish to stop smoking has to come from inside. Nothing you do will make your mom stop if she doesn't really WANT to.\nYou can, however, keep telling her how much you love her, how you want her to be with you for many years to come. Never fight, never confront her: just let her know.\nI was a very heavy smoker (three packs of cigarettes a day), and I quit 14 years ago after various unsuccessful attempts. What worked for me was the nicotine patch.\nI do believe that, when you are a smoker, your body becomes addicted to a certain amount of nicotine in the blood. The patch took care of that addiction, and then I only had to fight the sensation of not having something in my hand or my mouth. That is easier to fight than the physical addiction to the drug, because that is what it is.\nIt was not as excruciating as I thought it would be, and I have gone through very stressful situations in these years without resorting to a cigarette for comfort.\nI am so proud of my achievement that I dare put myself as an example in this matter.\nThere are many new products she could try: patches, chewing gum, ask around. Quitting cold turkey is extremely hard. I know I couldn't have done it.\nShow her my answer. Let her know those things do help. They do.\nI hope you will all succeed. The smells, the flavors, the deep breaths you can take without coughing, the stairs you can climb without suffocating, it's all worth it.

first thing first. Dont confront your sister. Just do it! Put her in Rehab even she gets mad its for her own good. Then, raise the kid. Explain to the kid what is really going on w/her mom. It will be more complicated he the kid doesnt understand what is going on around him. Protect the kid not your sister.

there are many ways to do that. but lets' say one thing that works for me may not work for you. every one is different and you need to find out what works best for you.\n1.the first thing is that your will power . \n2. decide that you want to quit and why do you want to do that.\n3. ask yourself that why you cannot quit.\n4. one thing that worked for me is that I (and most people) usually link smoking to something else. like, I used to smoke after a meal, when I wake up in the morning, after my lecture...etc......try to break that link, don't smoke at the usual time you always do. this helps a lot..................hope I was any help.

Allright. This is cgoing to be tough but if you are truly commited we can get this done.  First take all the pot you have (and all you cant get from your siblings and friends) and place it in a plain paper bag. Take this to the "illeagal drug disposal facility" which is in the men's room at the downtown Greyhound station. Hide the bag behind the 3rd urinal (don't be seen) and walk away. If you feel the need to get high again blow your entire check on a QP of something sweet and bring that down to the drug disposal center. You'll feel better soon.
