husband smokes too much!!

Hello Sweet and welcome to my lot. I am a smoker and believe me if I could quit I would put those nasty things down today. But once you start to smoke it isn't a habit that you can drop at will. Pray and ask God to take them away from him. I have tried the gum the patch but nothing worked for me. It is a nasty habit but no one can make anyone give up smoking. God is your only real choice as far as I know.

I have the same problem, but my boyfriend would never stop smoking. At least, he's a very caring person, so he would never smoke near me because he knows I hate tabaco's smell. Unfortunately the only person who can make a smoker to stop is the smoker itself. They will never listen to others as what they have is a very strong addiction.

I think your concern is good and valid. I think for starters you can have a tete a tete with him. Then you can try and understand why he is unable to give it up. The problem for most smokers is that when they try to give up, the addiction to nicotine keeps dragging them back and if they get back then they will get back to the habit with vigor. During that period you need to take special care of him and ensure that his craving for nicotine does not arise. All the best in your endeavor. Cheers! Ram

My late husband didn't smoke and no one smokes from our household. Nobody smokes in the office, too. I hate smoke and I usually refrain from people who smoke. We can only advise them about the adverse effects of smoking. It is really up to them if they stop smoking or not. Let your husband understand how much you really care for him and that you want yourselves to be together for a long time. Let him understand, too, that smoking does not only bring damage to himself but also to the passive smokers, including his children and yourself. Pray that he stops smoking... he alone can make the change.

here's my story, when i meet my girlfriend, now my wife, i used to smoke 2 packs a day, before my girlfriend accepts my proposal we made agreement to quit my smoking habit, so i quit, if she's not around, i was her birthday when she caught me poping smoke, she get mad at me and almost ended our relation that night, the following morning she gave me a only one tiny chance, i love her and i really battled my habit of smoking, she always bought me mint gum until i finally quit smoking...i think if she didn't gave a chance that night i probably still smoking today, i love her so much so i'm willing to gave up my habit..

We have the same problem here. My husband can not stop smoking. Sometimes, I think that he is smoking too much. But I know that I can not push him to stop smoking. I know my husband that it will not work if I push him to stop smoking. It should come from him self. Maybe others can share something for us here to make our husband stop smoking.

that is outrageous behavior i do smokes lightly and not occasionally as i know the danger of smoking. it makes anyone look old, gives bad breath, yellow teeth and it retards the mind. i think try to chew anti-nicotine chewing gum or tablet that his desire for smoking would be lost over time.
