This may not be considered the most serious of topics one can read on here but it really is a big issue for me. My father is 65 years old. He's been a smoker since he was 17 years old. I didn't really get to know him until after he got released on pension. He would go work at 9 am and get back at like 12 or 1 o'clock and it was a matter of me forcing myself to stay up to be able to see him. People would tell me he would go through 5 packs of cigarettes like they were cherries, something I never knew or, to put it differently, something I never knew he did that much to cause any concerns on my part. He's been home for 5 years now and he barely gets out but his very bad case of smoking addiction came to my attention ever since he got released. The man just can't help himself neither can I. I tried talking to him but he really can't care less. Seeing him getting old isn't fun, seeing him getting old that way makes it even feel worse. I would go to sleep every day wondering how many days left before he's no longer here. I would sleep having these doomsday like scenarios setting on my chest. I really love him and I don't want to see him hurting but as I said he really can't care less. I don't know what to do. I would donate an organ if that's what it would take for him to live his last years healthy. 

If you have any suggestions as what I should do, please let me know.

Much love.
