A bit off topic, if you insert a space after the hyphen in your points, they will become a bullet list like:

- My first point
- and my second point

...will turn into

  • My first point
  • and my second point

And that makes it easier to read :)

From my view (having studied social epidemiology) there is no way to discourage an adult from smoking. Only children can be stopped. The person by himself perhaps one day will have a sort of enlightenment. And I'm saying this after studying the facts and figures.

To be honest unless someone has the willpower to be able to stop there's nothing you can do apart from the suggestions from Muzzammil above.

My nan smoked even after having a stroke and my dad was hospitalised and vowed to give up and never could. People who have smoked most of their lives will find it hard but if its a younger person you may have a chance.

You could try showing the person pictures of people who get cigarette related illnesses such as cancer, they are really gruesome.
