My dad has been smoking for over 20 years now and it really worries me about his health. I keep mentioning to him that he should quit, and he never says no, but he never makes an effort. He quit once before for almost a year, and he did it just by reducing the number of cigarettes he smoked until he was down to none.

So anyways, should I put more pressure on him to quit or should I just let him keep destroying his already poor health? I know he's a grown man, but obviously quitting smoking is better for him, so shouldn't I make every effort to convince him to do so? And if so, how? I was thinking about maybe buying him some gum or patches or something and giving it to him as a gift.

Thanks for the advice!
