Do you love a smoker ?
If you know someone that would like to quit smoking
and are not sure how to help; here are a few
suggestions for you.
From the Fit and Free Smoking Cessation Program (NY)
-
Take your future non smoker to dinner, coffee, a
movie or perhaps a sports event.
-
Fix a favorite meal.
-
Listen. It can help a smoker calm down when upset.
-
Offer a massage.
-
Give a hug or show caring in some other way, even
when it has nothing to do with smoking.
-
Fill a jar with cigarette substitues like gum, coffee
stir sticks, worry beads etc.
-
If you smoke, don't do it when the quitter has to be
around it. (in the car, over dinner)
-
Find low calorie recipies.
-
Send a note or flowers when the going gets tough.
Tricia kindly sent in these great suggestions that she
received from a smoking cessation program in New York.
These are ideas for those of you who love a smoker and
would like to show your support or help.
~Thanks Tricia~
