bobbi asked:

Suppose the cure for cancer is simple (and only you know it), such as repeating a series of commands.

How easy, as a layperson, do you think you could travel up the chain of command to convince -others- that you know the cure without being labeled a whackjob? Do you think you could do it? If so, how?

How can i persuade my parents to stop smoking?

eldridan asked:


My parents are heavy smokers. They smoke 2 boxes/day,sometimes more. I have told them many times to quit, but that doesnt work. Ive told them about all the negative effects and poisonous substances, but they say : yes, i know, but i cant stop! Many people in our family have cancer, im so afraid my parents will die of it too! Probably the biggest problem is that they sell cigarettes in our shop! They are surrounded by hundreds of cigs at least 8 hours/day. They cant stop selling them, because they are our major income :-( (( any ideas?
