Scaring my sisters away from smoking?!
Question: They are 23 and 21 and smoke... I am trying to find uber-frightening articles and stuff that I can show them. In Australia we have these hideous photos on the back of cigarette packets that show mouth cancers, lung cancers etc - but even that doesn't turn some people off.
What can I say to them or show them that will make them go "ohhh okay, NOW I want to stop smoking"?
Any ideas would be appreciated :)

You know, in today's time, information about smoking is so readily available, that most people know exactly how horrible smoking is for them but continue to do it anyway. The thing about and addiction is that an addict is not going to quick until they decide they are ready to quit. You can talk to them until you're blue in the face but they aren't going to quit until they decide that are ready and want to quit. I understand that you love your sisters and want what's best for them, which is ultimately for them to quit smoking but I'm just afraid that you might be fighting a losing battle. Good Luck!
