    Tell her that:


    There are about 4600 chemcals in a cigasrette that are harmful to health.


    Around 5.4 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.


    Every 6.5 seconds a smoker dies.


    About 450,000 Americans die because of smoking each year.  Secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 of them.


    Smokers' Helpline: 1-800-NO-BUTTS

    The next time your mother lights up a cig, you need to clutch your chest and pretend you can't breathe, then fall to the floor and pretend you are dead. When she asks you whats wrong, tell her she is slowly killing you with her smoke each time she lights one up in the house.


      If the suggestion above does not work, then sneak into your room the next time she's smoking and call 911. Tell the police that your mother is poisoning you with her second hand smoke and she won't stop. When the cops come to speak to your mother, then maybe she will understand how much this really is bothering you. She'll be mad at first, but she'll get over it and hopefully start smoking outside only.

    Also tell her that every PACK that she smokes, she knocks off 3 hours of  LIFE.

    Tell her this. thank you mom for supporting all the cancer research centres in the country thy need more people like you to help make a cure.  this my make her think.
