      Dnt give him cash to buy cigarettes.If he has to stop,it has to come from him.Forcing him to stop will cause more resistance.

      This kind of thing only he can decide whether he wanna quit de.. If his intention of quitting is not even there, no amount of advice or forcefulness can make him quit smoking.

      my thinking is this, whether i can help him quit or not depends on my will.

       

      People can manage company, leading thousands of workers, manage countries or do big things, why cannot we influence our family members to quite smoking.

       

      Its just a matter of whether you priortise your time to assist in the quitting process. If i cannot even persuade and assist my brother in quitting one bad smoking habit, then i guess I will not be able to do bigger things in my life liao.

       

      hope this will motivate others to help their brother and family too who are in the same situation as me.
