WHAT CAN A NON-SMOKER DO TO HELP A SMOKER QUIT SMOKING?
As a Non-Smoker do you feel like you are walking on egg shells and you are
going to say or do the wrong thing.
The best thing to do is to ask the smoker "What can I do to support you?"
You might be surprised at the answers that you get.
Things that don't work to support smokers or chewers:
Telling a smoker that smoking is not good for them.....like "duh"... they know that.
It won't help to take away or throw away their cigarettes...that will just make them cranky.
Having them quit for you....the smoker needs to quit for themselves.
If they quit for you, what happens the first time they get annoyed with you ....yes! They will smoke to spite you.
Stephanie Eldringhoff facilitates Teleseminar support groups for non-smokers
so you can learn how to support someone that is going through the process of quitting smoking. Support sessions are held over the phone or in person.
The Support group covers:
Listening skills
How to inquire effectively without interrogation
Managing anxiety
Acting from Your strengths
