I can completely understand that you want to help your mother but unfortunately I believe that you can't force a person to change Not until they actually decide for themselves that they want to.

It seems you are doing all that you can - you can make sure that she knows the risks and knows where to seek help and that you will support her through that process but nicotine addiction is extremely strong. She will need the motivation herself to make the change.
