How Do I Make My Mom Sop Smoking! Serious! Help?

Ugh! My mum is 45. Im 17. She always smokes!! Were a poor family.. and she smokes about 20 fags a day! I tell her to please leave the room or do it outside, but she very occasionly listens to me. I get very upset and have been so angry i do bad things sometimes, and think of doing bad things.. * cough. suicide. cough* Well maybe not that extreme, but i get very upset! I always have to leavethe room!
Also, she smokes the ones where you roll the tobaco in some paper with a filter on the end. Is that ok? And she has been smoking for about 30 years. Im really scared she will die or get cancer! Please help!? Im terrified!? When do you think she will die? What can i do to make her stop!? I have asked her when she will quit she always get so angry and says one day! She has being saying that for years! I tell her you can get seriously ill, but she says she wont. Ah im so scared! I could just cry right now and jump outta my window and die! When do you think she will die? What can i do to make her stop!? Im so scared

Suggestion:

My goodness, smoking isn't actually that bad for you if it's the roll-ups. (That's what they're called.) The filter tip stops the tobacco going directly into the lungs, it progresses very slowly and unfortunately some people have weaker lungs than others. If you're mom hasn't gotten cancer yet then I highly doubt she will. Don't panic so much, the only problem I can see is that she doesn't always leave the room. Second hand smoke can be a big problem. Some people die from cancer without ever smoking because of the people that smoke around them, she has to go outside or into a room with a open window. Not smoke around you. Good luck and best wishes. xx
