Hi.

I don't smoke, but my father does.

As a result he's had three kinds of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and is a walking heart attack. I do not expect him, if he continues, to live another ten years. He is only 59. I harbor all sorts of resentment toward Dad for his half-arsed attempts to quit, even though he insists that he does.

(Yes, smokers, this is what you can expect to inflict on your folks if you continue.)

I am midway through undergrad. If he makes it another seven years or so, to the end of my grad school years, I will be fairly happy.

Those of you who have quit smoking: How did you do it, and what can I do to help my dad quit?
