I care too much about my boyfriend. And since we became together, we did not have any serious problem. Also, I cannot tell any bad thing about him. He does not have any vice, except smoking. He smokes every time he is feeling stressed. I tried taking cigarettes away from him, but every time he is begging back for it. I cannot resist. The problem is, when he is smoking, my asthma is giving me a difficult time. I also did not tell him that my asthma is because of his smoking. I love him too much... I care for him too much... but how can I really make him stop and let him know that I want him to stop for his own good...

Shanemre, you should tell him that his smoking activates your asthma. I'm sure he loves you enough to not want to be the cause of your asthma and he would work to stop. Ask him if there are ways you can help him quit, make it like a reward system. Everytime he deal with stress without a smoke you give him a massage or something like that.

i am a bad smoker myself..i tried to cut it off but never successful...my hubby had been very much angry with my smoking habits and we always fight about it..but what can i do? its not just so easy to quit..it takes process..it has to be done slowly till ts totally gone...there are some options for smokers who wants to quit but i never tried one..you can try to go to the doctor and ask for one as many had helped to quit smoking..i suggest you not to be hard on him upon making him quit...it will put up a lot of stress...instead help him for him to have it removed...

hihi... i don't want to dare tell him like this brother... you see, I can never tell him I am leaving him because of his smoking... I don't know what I will do, if he will tell me, okey, leave... also I don't want to argue about small things with him... Sometimes, his smoking I am thinking is one thing I need to accept. Yes, I am accepting, only, I don't want him to lose his health from it... maybe one day, especially when we will be having our children, definitely he has to stop.
