There is roughly zero chance you'll "get" ANYBODY to quit smoking. It's something they have to do for themselves, or it won't work.
As somebody who smoked a pack a day for ten years, but has now been clean for 2 years 4 months 1 week 5 days 11 hours and 43 minutes (but who's counting), I can tell you for sure, it's way beyond "offended" when someone tries to pressure or manipulate you into quitting. I'm "offended" when somebody tells me they don't like my haircut. Having somebody try to make you quit is like a full-fledged assault on you as a person!
People who never smoked just totally don't get that. They think smoking's no big deal, and you could just put it down if you wanted to, must be you're either morally weak or you still want to smoke. They don't have the faintest grip on what it's like breaking a physical, mental, and habitual addiction that has actually become part of who you are.
