Not a fun situation. My mother started smoking again AFTER recovering from lymphoma. I was livid; so were my brothers... but ultimately SHE had to decide to quit. Eventually she did, she chose a date, marked her calendar and stopped that morning. We all supported her any way we could, going for walks with her, calling her etc... It'll be2 years next month.

My personal experience with quitting: tried 3-4 times and really struggled with it. In the end, I substituted saled, undyed pistachios for smokes.

I still get cravings for pistachios...I must be pretty simple minded if I can trick MYSELF that easily.
