Well first convince him via love, tell him that he may miss u if he continues and finally take him to the rehabiliation, he will surely stop.

let him understand the bad effects of smoking. not just to him but to you as well. Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.

I am a non-smoker and whilst i dislike cigs, i know full well that you cant make people stop smoking. At the end of the day they have to make the decision themselves. If they want to quit, you can help them with encouragement, but trying to force and nagging will just make things worse. Plus, 4-5 is hardly a hardcore smoker. My ex smoked and it was discussed but i never nagged or forced as ultimately its her choice and i accept that. She accepted i didnt like the smoke and either went outside or hung out of the window. If you can't accept someone for who they are or what they do, then you are probably just forcing the relationship into decline. Stereotypically women are supposed to try changing or training their men, but it really does happen both ways and joking aside it is not a forcible move. Some people say that smoking is such a little, but if you are going to force an argument about it everytime, you cant really class it as a small thing.
