You know that smoking is bad behaviour. But what if one or both of your parents smoke? You can’t order your parents to stop smoking, but you can encourage them to quit. Here are some good reasons: smoking is bad for their health; smoking causes second-hand smoke which can damage e very family’s health; smoking will cause other troubles in the family.
You can show articles about smoking to your parents and encourage them to find out more information about smoking. But what if your parents get angry with you because of the topic of smoking? People don’t like to be reminded that they are doing something bad, so it’s possible your parents will be angry. Remember to be kind, respect and understand your parents. Also you should know that it is difficult to give up smoking. Instead of shouting at them, you should tell them that you love them and want them to enjoy a happy life. One day your parents will realize you are right.
And if they do agree to stop smoking, you should be their supporter. There’s something you can do to help them when they want to smoke. Maybe you can go for a walk, do a puzzle, or listen to music with them. When they make progress, like a month without smoking, you can hold a party to celebrate it. Please say, “Go ahead, my parents!”
