  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.

  one cigarette reduces one's life by 11 minutes. everytime you see him smoke count the sticks and calculate for him

  A little harsh here,u can ask him if he wants a coffin readied for him in a few years time..yea i know its harsh but it might turn him off

  Just like me

  let him learn the hard way himself then. because if he dun want to be helped, there is nothing you can do though

  thanks for all positve replies and no thanks for wet blankets and crappy ones.

   

  I have been seeing some quitting videos on videojug website.

  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.
