My husband is smoking.I want him to quit.What can I do?

Tell your husband if he cannot quit, you will leave him coz he wont stop smoking and smoking.

You can tell him you don't like this.Try to told him eat candy install smoking.This is a good idea for him

you must understand that to quit for smoking is not a mere quit! It is really really hard. There should be willingness on your husband's part if he really wanted to. Discipline is one good way to stop it. I know your husband loves you so much and you also in return, then, there is a great chance for him to be motivated.

my boyfriend also smokes even before we met and i told him to stop and like your husband he also told me he would quit! now that we have a daughter together he still hasnt quit. if you can beat them join them! which i did i also became addicted to smoking now he's the one who tells me to quit! i told him ill quit if he quits too! now he's doing it slowly by smoking 2 to 3 sticks a day! which i do too!

Point out that he is potentially killing your child. I would hope his concern for his kid will overcome his love of his cancer sticks. My husband was a good friend of mine before we ever started dating and he was a smoker. he quit before asking me out because he knew he didn't have a chance in hell otherwise. I hate smoking, it is filthy, disgusting, and who wants to kiss an ashtray?

If you live together, lay a new groundrule; no smoking inside the house. That will usually help cut down the number of cigs they smoke. Men are lazy! Start throwing his cigs away. Everytime he buys a pack you throw it away. You could wait until there's about 3-4 left. Everytime he smokes, cough loudly and say "MY LUNGS!! I CANT BREATHE!" and start writhing on the floor. If all else fails, join him. That way if you do get lung cancer, it will be by your own hands...not his.

Dont push him to quit. If you do he probably wont quit. instead tell him you would like him to quit give him a chance, ask him to smoke outside due to the baby and the possible harmfull effects it can cause to the baby. then when he says he wants to quit dont expect him to quit over night I know it is not easy just say ok and ask what you can do to support him in this task. Pressure is my main reason for smoking, and getting rid of that pressure is hard to do. so when he says he wants to quit just ask him what you can do to support him

You cant do anything. He has to want to quit smoking. If you make him it wont work. He will continue to smoke even behind your back. So no it doesnt work that way. They have to want to quit.

I think its very hard for someone to quit smoking all of a sudden. U should probably tell him to reduce first and then try quiting. If it doesnt work , then try diverting him to do things that he likes, other than smoking.

the initiative should start with him. you cannot force soemone do what they do not want to do. just tell him it is not healthy for you and your baby to inhale his smoke.

You knew when you were dating and then married him he smoked. If you couldn't deal with it then why did you marry him? Your husband is an adult. Let him know you don't like it but if you keep nagging it won't do any good. He will either smoke more or if he does quit he will resent you for it. You made him do it and that is not good for your marriage. If you keep nagging at him you will alienate him, also not good for your marriage. Tell him how you feel but then it is up to him and you have to let him make that choice himself.

If you haven't enforced your request up until now, it's probably too late. Smoking is an addiction. He's not going to quit unless he wants to. Nobody else can force him to.

Maybe suggest to him that with the money you save when he gives up you can go on a weekend away or perhaps he can buy something that he has always wanted.

Well, keep telling him your feelings, but he is the one that has to quit, and choose to do so and what plan will be best for him. Sometimes asking them to quit only keeps them smoking, like seeking revenge or something. Maybe you could tell him that he need to smoke outside only so not to hurt the baby's health and yours as well? There are so many options out there, but he has to have the willpower and desire or it is impossible.

first tell your husband's wish...do he realize hazards behind smoking?? do he is eager to quit somking because from your topic it seems that you are eager to quit his smoking...not your husband.. anyways your wish is nice...but that person's effort is very important. i think you try to hammer the hazards behind the smoking on his mind....if he made hard efforts nothing is impossible

Make your husband understand that apart from your dislike it does not even harm his health but also yours as well as people around. Make him read some good articles on negative effects of smoking and he will definitely understand and quit smoking

It's better that your husband quit smoking, because it will effect to you and your baby.When ever your husband going for smoking give him one glass of water to drink. It will help him to some extent. "ALL THE BEST'.

well quitting smoking is hard so i think that you should help your husband quit. talk to him and tell him that you love him so much and it would hurt you to see him slwly killing himself. so first of all you have to lessen the number of sticks he smokes per day. like he can only smoke 10 sticks per day for this month and then go lower until he can now carry on without smoking. because if you let hiom quit instantly the tendency is his body will search for it and he will feel restless and the urge to smoke will become increased. do it slowly and do it together.

Smoking is not a habbit, but it is a deficiency comes due to tension and loneliness at certain times which makes them get addicted to it.The best medicine is try to make him engaged in a brainstorming job of his own interest for more time so that can make him to involve in that for long time soon this will let him forget the habbit of smoking.The way I followed for myself is succesful so pls. try and let me know. Doing something more interesting to u will make u stay in that work for long time without having food even.So try try try...u will win the race...Let god bless ur life and family. Regards kannan

As per as i think you should ask him to decrease the number of cigrettes he smokes in a day. Dont ask for giving up. if you can reduce one cigrette in a day or in a week then there could be one day when he himself find that if he can reduce the no of cigrette then he can quit also. Quittin cannot be done in a day or two it definetly takes some time. let him take own time to do so.. you just keep a watch whether it is working or not.
