I have a friend that really a chain-smoker. He smokes 2 packs everyday and he cannot survive the day without doing it. Of course, it takes out a lot of money from your pocket and harm your health, but it seems that these stuffs didn't bother him after all. I'm just only concern to his health and I want to help him out of it. How can I help him? Do you have any suggestion how to help this kind of person?

Only personal strong will from the addicted smoker will stop it. No other person can do it. Based on my experience and see from others, there are some things will help to stop smoker from smoking: 1. Very bad health, and had to stop or else. 2. No money to buy it. 3. Surrounding; like working in no smoking area will force to stop the habit at least minimizing it, etc. 4. Sometimes threat from someone close and he/she love could help, but that's not a good practice I think... :D
