To haifagirl,
Thanks for answering for me.
To makesher,
Please don’t comment on what mental health professionals would or would not appreciate. There are a lot of them that only treat addictions. It seems to me that you have the attitude that you are better than them (smokers). Pitying smokers will not get them to stop. Encouraging them to seek professional help will. There are a lot of tools nowadays in the medical & mental toolbox to help these people. But I know where you are coming from. I’ve even seen medical professionals put down smokers. This doesn’t do any good and perhaps these stradegies are even worse than keeping quiet.
