How Can I Get My Wife To Quit Smoking?
My wife has smoked for over 10 years. I really want her to stop because I believe it’s the cause of a lot of her health problems (her nose is constantly stopped up, she has bad allergies, she’s always tired, her sex drive is NOT good at all, etc…). I love her very much but I don’t want to lose her to cancer or even worse, live WITH her if she gets emphaszima (is that how you spell it?). I’ve smoked for 3 years but I can honestly quit any time I want to (I quit for 4 months so I could lose weigh so quitting is NOT an issue for me…and I’m being 100% truthful). Every time I mention it she gets upset. She says she’ll quit when our lives have less stress. But that’s never going to happen because life is always going to be stressful. What do I do?

Come on, man, the answer is obvious. You both need to quit.

I don’t think harrassing her about it is going to work..all that will do is give her an ulcer on top of her other health issues. I don’t think YOU can do anything about it…SHE has to make that decision on her own.

Or you stop first if she doesn’t want to. Then keep telling her on every occasion “I could do it, you couldn’t. You’re weak!”. That’s what I did and it motivated my wife to quit. Neither of us has smoked a cigarette since, even though we both had been smoking for about 10 years.

Every time she lights up, smack it out of her mouth. A good backhand is the answer to many of life’s problems.
