if you really want to quit smoking its so easy, just tell yourself that your going to stop smoking then thats it, can you just imagine that smoking can cause cancer or any part of your body will be distroyed, before going to sleep ask yourself this question, why i want to quit………??????? why? hehehehe no need to tell you the answer you know it already face IT!… talk to your buddy heartily that you two will stop smoking because its bad for your health..before its to late.. the best cure is to stop smoking!

quiting smoking is hard enough for one person but even harder for two, except if you encourage each other it will undoubtedly be that little easier.There is no guaranteed way to quit just keep persevering good luck.

This is a matter that requires prayer.
I was able to quit back in October of 2005. Haven’t smoked since. I believe this is because someone said a prayer for me, because I could definitely see the hand of the Lord in it.
Ask friends, your preacher, your neighbors, the clerk at the grocery store to pray for him, and you.
The very sad truth of the matter is that you cannot stop smoking (if you’re an addict) unless and until you want to. The Lord can make him want to.
Unfortunately, so can cancer, emphysema, etc.

You can’t convince him to do it with you. He has to do it when he’s ready and for himself not you-
You can tell him your concerns and make some rules- like he has to brush his teeth or chew gum or use mouthwash and wash his hands every time he smokes and you could have a special “smoking robe” or something that he puts over his clothes to go smoke so that his regular clothes are less affected.
Good LUCK with the quitting!!

tell him you’r ready to quit and you can’t do that if he can’t, of course you can’t do that knowing that he can’t also, you might get envy with him. hehe! tell him the benefits of quitting smoke. but if he really can’t stop it, and you’re really ready you can do it without him quitting (if you’re really ready). maybe he’ll realize about it if he sees you not smoking already (if you really quit). Good day! Goodluck!

I quit smoking about 2 months ago after I went to a rock and roll show that was smoke free. Then I realized that not only was this making my lungs hurt and causing to me to worry alot, but it wasn’t even cool anymore. I am still on the patch, and I couldn’t do it without it. I also started excercising every morning.
To make a change, there has to be some degree of pain that makes people WANT to change. Without that pain, the change won’t stick, it will just be cosmetic.
I commend your efforts! I wish you and your family the best.

congratulations! the first day is really tough! i am in the exact same boat. i’m doing this cold turkey and my husband is just so weak. he wants to quit, but really gives up at the first pang of withdrawal. all you can do is don’t quit quitting!! i know it means alot to have someone there with you and being supportive. i miss that too. i’m just happy that my children see what i’m doing (or not doing) and my 3 yr old is even proud of momma! what i’m planning on, is getting my husband a prescription for chantix. i’ve heard some great things about it. i’m gonna just set it on his dresser and see how that goes. if you need a cheerleader, let me know!! i’m proud of you!!! day one, so hard!! it gets a little better each day. and going crazy,i can commiserate! i even felt like i was pretty stoned for a few days. oxygen lovely oxygen and it’s free! for me things really started picking up on day 5. not so crazy any more! good luck to you!! i’m pulling for you!! you are not alone! i promise!!!

I know from experience that he has to be ready to quit on his own.
Maybe when he sees how well you are doing, he will decide to give it a try.
Meanwhile, for some support for yourself, visit Quitnet at http://www.quitnet.com/
I got a lot of support from them when I was quitting.

let your man get to know your intentions. sit him down and respectifully discuss your decision with him. tell him you wouldnt like to see him die earlier than normal. explain the repercussions to him,yourself and most importantly the kids.
children learn a lot by imitation. he wouldnt like to see his children smoke simply because of a decision he could make, if he tries to. reinforce him by praising him for an effort on his part. all while, make sure you still stand by your own decisions.
Queen, i wish you all the best in this life saving endeavour. it will save your family press hard.
