Some very good points here. The only way somebody will quit smoking is if they can find a good enough reason to stop. I wish there were no cigs even though I used to smoke. It is nasty!
Shelliebear, your family that are both living on govt. assistance and working at Mcd's would fare better if they learned a trade. 4 year college is not for everybody, but maybe they can learn something practical so they do not have to live off the bottom of the barrel and spend their only money on smokes. They can then get their own apartment, with their own money. It is always worth a shot!
