My Father was told by his doctor to stop smoking.?
Question:
Answers:
Before he decides to use any products to quit smoking he needs to be advised by his doctors which ones he can and which ones he can not take as my mother also has heart disease and she can't take the patches cuz there is too high of a risk for heart attack with them. Good luck to your dad and hopefully you can find it within yourself to maybe buddy up with him on his journey to being smoke free! Would be good for both of you I think!! Best of luck to ya!

Nicotine is worse than Heroin. Good Luck, u could have him try the patches, gum, inhaler, or hypnosis worked for me. Acupuncture helped also for some.
It's cool that you don't smoke in front of him, but why not quit WITH him so you don't get diagnosed the same way when you are his age? This will support him as you stated you want to, as well as ease his mind and make it easier for you both. Good luck! It's easier to quit smoking when someone is quitting with you. Been there. Smoking is a hard habit to break, I watched my grandfather die from this habbit! The best thing is just to be there for him, and when he needs to smoke keep him busy doing other things. I have no idea what kind of things he likes to do but if he likes to play games, or watch movies, or just sit and chat many times that will make a person forget about the craving. My Uncle used the patches and it worked very well for him so it is deffinately worth a try!
My dad quit smoking cold turkey awhile back. He said that the most helpful thing to him was chewing on toothpicks. It was something to keep in his mouth and helped a bit with the psychological cravings.
If your father is having a hard time, remind him what he has to gain by quitting, how far he has come, and of his health. Also, the ultimate sign of support you could show would be to stop smoking right along with him.
Good luck to you both.
hi- my father was told to quit smoking too by his doctor. he had smoked since he was 12 or 13.. my dad died of lung problems last august, all i have to say is if you love him keeep on his *** about it cause i wish i would have. Has your father's GP suggested that he uses Zyban to help him stop smoking? There is so much information about it on the web and I am fairly certain that if your father's GP wants him to give it up, he will be only to pleased to prescribe it for him. Good luck to him, and you may even want to use Zyban yourself.
I believe your father will quit smoking because his doctor must have convinced him why he should do so. You can only remind him that he will invite death to come sooner for him as well as for his near and dear ones who are compelled to passive smoking by his smoking. It is difficult but not very difficult to quit smoking.

Personal experience. I smoked 50 to 60 cigarettes a day for 17 years, decided to quit it immediately with last puff and have not smoked a single since last 31 years.
My husband quit smoking using these patches, but he really wanted to give them up. Nothing will work 100% unless he really wants to give them up. If he's willing to then buy him some of these patches, the Nicquitin CQ are the brand my husband used and he found them great. I know you've said that you can't really talk to your Dad about this but what if you maybe gave the cigarettes up with him so then he doesn't feel like you're dictating to him he feels more like you're supporting him. Just a thought, I hope it all works out for ye
