If you are along with him all day you can control it by intervening in some way or other. Like you can offer some snaks or start discussing certain issues or take him into household work etc.

stop hanging out with ur frnds who smoke... make a headstrong determination tht ull stop smoking... try and chew the gum whole day, i hv heard it helps, no personal experience so not sure how much... it will take time for deaddiction... ull find constant urges to go and hv one puff but restrain frm it... once quitted never evn think of touching it... if nothing helps u thn thr are nicotine patches available which can help u in cutting down slowly... also medication named buspirone is available for smoking cessation...

Tell him to chew gum or suck on hard candies.

He is going to have to 'really' want it.Find an approach that will make him realise the real effects. If you have children, as cruel as it is (Don't get them involved though! Well not with this approach at least!) have him realise he could get cancer which could potentially see his children never grow up, or have to grow up with him being very ill.

This tip may be too personal. Find out the regular time when your husband smokes. Give him a life time offer, that if he gives up smoking, you will give him a kiss.
