How can you help someone make a positive change?

No Smoking Sign Suppose you've been talking with a friend or family member about what you've learned in this lesson and this person confides in you that they really want to stop smoking. You know the importance of planning for a behavior change like this one and the value of having strategies to help you succeed. What is the best advice and/or support you can give this person?

Think about the challenges facing a smoker who wants to quit and consider how you could support a person on the path to becoming a nonsmoker. Then, go to the next discussion assignment in this course and post a paragraph (three-five sentences) describing the advice you would give. After posting your own advice, comment on the posts of at least two other students.
