This is a question you will continually ask yourself as a professional in the field. The better question is to ask is “What is positive for them?” – in other words – What are they getting out of engaging in this behavior? We all do things for various different reasons. Unless we can understand why someone continues to do something – we can’t help them stop. lets be honest – everyone who smokes knows the health risks and dangers. And everyone continues to smoke. They are getting something from smoking – whether it’s relaxation, or socialization, or physical, etc. etc. It is only in understanding those issues that we can help someone change.
