My husband is a closet smoker. He quit 2 years ago but within a month or two he started up again. Since then he's been doing it in secret. How? You ask - well, I turn a very blind eye. He's been smoking since he was 13 - 20 years ago - and has no strategies for dealing with stress whatsoever. I'm really tired of it all, but at least I don't have to actually deal with the smoking this way. What would youdo - tell him to kick the habit, or keedp your opinion to yourself?

It would be fine if you can find out the reason why he had to start smoking again. If he undergoing any stress try to help him out with that, cause he may undergo a bit more stress by trying to keep smoking as a secret. As you said he is a smoker for such a long time and he did quit that for 2 years now, there should be some strong reason i suppose why he had to start it again.
Well you can help him in qitting this smoking but i guess only if you can handle it with some good caring. Make sure that he is not hurt that you came to know about his secret smoking.

He only quit for a few months - the "secret smoking" has been going on for almost 2 years. He can't handle any stress at all - the kids acting up, someone giving him a hard time at work, whatever. I'm not sure how to move forward.

Smoking IS bad! I'm getting worried about him because he's not quitting on his own. It's also really expensive. He wouldn't have to work so much if he didn't have to pay for his addiction.
