Let me know how you go, got the same problem with my old man, his logic is "live like pig, good and short".
Took him to the doctor, he put him on Zyoban, but the old man reckons the stuff is too strong, gives him anxiety and he reckons he's better off smoking.
When i was in the states, every second yank had one of those electric/steam? ciggies hanging out of his gob, might try buying him that, see how he goes.
im going to go against the trend here and ask what you really think quitting is going to achieve for him? At his age im guessing he has probably been smoking for 40 years or more, the damage he has already done wont be reversed by quitting now. As others have said, if he doesnt genuinely want to quit then no amount of persuasion or medication is going to help.
At 65, why take away something he probably enjoys if he doesn't want to and isnt going to get any benefit from doing so?
Note: I hate smoking. I think its a disgusting habit and wish the government could see past the revenue it generates to make a genuine effort to stamp it out. In the case of your dad though, I think you would achieve alot more for his health and general wellbeing by getting him more active.
Its a shit habit!
The sooner we get rid of tobacco the better...
