Smoking advice for friends and family
How can I help someone close to me give up smoking?"
It can be difficult to let someone know you want them to stop smoking - but once they have decided for themselves that they want to quit, your encouragement and support will really help.
You can talk to them about how they want to quit, and help them find what works for them. There's lots of free support available.
