Whatever works to make them stop. I am lucky; my parents succeeded in persuading me at a very young age not to smoke, and I never started. OTOH, I experienced the agony of watching my father die of lung cancer. It was a horrific sight. My mother probably would have died similarly, had she not died sooner from Alzheimer's.
All of us have things available to us that can do us harm, but few are as relentlessly destructive... and pointless... as smoking.
Luckily my parents experimented very early on and did not enjoy it. My father-in-law did and died rather young of a heart attack. No one I know now smokes, thank god. I haven't had an ashtray out in decades....
