Answer:

Chronic Disease Risk Factors

  • tobacco use.
  • the harmful use of alcohol.

The advice you should give:

  • tell them to take it one day at a time and reward themselves throughout the quitting process. encourage them to do regular physical activity - this helps them to deal with withdrawal symptoms, avoid weight gain and improve their mood. remind them to look after themselves - to get plenty of sleep and eat well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Be honest about your concerns and offer your support. Let the person know you're there if they need someone to talk to. Offer to take them to meetings. Take good care of yourself.
