My father is an asthma patient but he smokes. When we ask him not to do so he scolds us. He is the eldest in the family so we can’t tell anybody else to tell him not to. Once I told him that we love him very much and so he should stop this habit but he didn’t talk to me for a week or two and finally scolded me and continued the habit. Please tell me what to do. I love him very much.
I suggest that, with the help of some other family member, you talk to your family doctor and explain the situation about your father. Doctors have the knowledge and authority to guide their patients on keeping in good health or not getting into troubles, what to do and not to do. Your father seems to be addicted to tobacco and is not able to stop that bad habit. The same happens in the case of other addictions, like alcohol or drugs. Love and support from the family is useful but not sufficient enough. Professional counselling and medical help are often necessary, too.
