I might would ask him to step outside when he smokes but I don't think anyone has the right to tell another adult that they can't smoke. The best thing is for you guys to talk about it and work out some guidelines that work for all concerned. He may quit on his own and he may not. Either way, you had a child with someone who you knew smoked, so you really can't jump in his ship about it.

Thanks for your comment. I try to ask him not to smoke infront of our children and I. Now I can see some improvement. He will go outside to smoke. I know it will take some time for him to quit smoking but I'm praying for that.

This is one of my problems as well. He is not really a smoker not until he had his job. His friends smokes heavily, while he is a passive smoker. He might as well join them 'coz he can't beat them. I am having a hard time convincing him not to smoke. He just makes sure that he smokes away from us. He never smokes when I am with him. He usually find some place where i can not inhale it. It's hard for them, you can at least tell him to minimize first the number of sticks he consumes. There are also nicotine patches that can make him lessen the craving for a smoke.

Just have to talk with him about. Mine hasn't quit yet either but he smokes outside. I don't allow smoking in my home b/c of my kids.

I used to smoke before, but 2 years ago i quit!!! And it's all begin inside. Try to always talk about health with him professionally, scare him of smoke cause, and try to eat or drink herbs that can throw toxin from our body. The herbs like Ganoderma Lucidum and Morinda Citrifolia may helps a lot insyaAllah. Also drink natural water a lots to help toxin move out with sweat.
But a spirit from inside is the most important, just fight, and in about just a month, with the helps of aboves method insyaAllah may helps. :-)
