My boyfriend smokes 10-15 sticks of cigarettes a day and Im worried about him. I usually remind him to lessen the number of cigarettes he smoke everyday. He is trying but he just can't help it. I know it's hard for smokers to quit smoking, but really, Im not rushing him to quit right away. What should I do?

Unfortunately, you can't make a person quit smoking. He has to be ready to do that on his own. He needs to set a quitting date and do it. He can call 1 800 NO BUTTS and they are able to assist him by quitting smoking.

The only thing I know of that really works is acupuncture. My husband was smoking 2 - 3 packs a day and just a couple sessions with the acupuncturist and he was cured. No cravings, mood swings, weight gain, etc. The only problem is finding a good acupuncturist in your area.

if he goes to his doctor, there is a new prescription pill that helps.
