He is doing pretty well so far. He hasn't had a cigarette since last Thursady, so almost a whole week done.
He quit once before, for five years! He started back when he got his current job. They were driving to work after Hurricane Katrina and he couldn't stay away so bummed a cigarette from someone. Of course, they got him right back hooked.
That was three years ago. He is finally ready to quit again. I really hope he makes it. I worry about him smoking.

Hi sunnflr, I hope your husband can handle well.. I know what is like to smoke, but I smoke for about 2 years now and I'm not thinking of quitting it, I don't have any promise to anybody about leaving it.. when I decide it, I think that I will leave it.. I hope so

My husband stops smoking at a much younger age so i no longer worry about his health. But my father had never stop smoking since he was 18 years old. He had a hole on his heart because of smoking and his doctor already advise him long time ago to quit smoking but until now he still smoke. It makes me worried but the only thing he keeps on telling us ,is that he want to enjoy his life while he is still alive. I do wish i can stop him though but he cant live a day without it anymore.

well i have done a presentation this week on smoking, but the bad part is that i smoke as well. I really want to quit it. I think your husband is great in doing that. Can you tell me how is he managing all that. Because i think of quiting smoking but i cant because first of all i am living a student life in a foreign country and there is no one to stop me from that.

Just ended commenting to everyone in my dicussion about chewing gum. I mentioned that my Dad was able to quit by chewing gum. It changes your attitude too. Makes you feel more confident and carefree. May be it would help him.

I feel you on this one. I did the same thing only I quit for 9 months. I just started again. I have had a ton of stress and my mental copacity for the weight gain was troublesome. I gave up and started again. I am down to three cigs a day and working on quitting again. I felt better without the nicotine! Good luck Love!

Thats good that he is decided to quit smoking which is very injurious to health. Even my husband was smoking continuously for 8 years then he got severe cough so then he made it less that is once in a while if he go out with his friend or when he boozes he smokes. After that again he got severe cough and bronchial asthma attack so now he is completely left smoking. Now he doesnt have the problem of cough also. Im happy for that. All the best for you too..

Support him, remind him often, tell him how it will affect you and the family negatively, especially the children. Think of the children! (and also the old folks).
There is of course those addiction clinics to help people quite smoking. I wish you and your husband all the best. :)
