boyfriend help: i really want my boyfriend to quit smoking ciggarettes. - Help.com

if you met him smoking then why change him. i can honestly say that my ex husband met me, dated me and married me while smoking.. and he tried to get me to quit.. i smoked behind his back.. forcing me to lie to him about it.. dont change someone… offer your advice, but dont change him.

You shouldn’t try to change who he is. He has to quit for himself and not for you.

Seems somewhat selfish to say, “I’ll break up with you because you do an activity I don’t approve of that you’ve been doing all along.” Don’t you think? Perhaps you should have included that in your initial calucations when you signed up to date him.

So your call, suggest one more time that you’ll break up with him, and if it’s that bloody important to you, then do so.

well, that is different then.. but again.. leave that choice up to him if he really wants to quit.. talk to the dr. they offer prescriptions for patches which work good.. just have plenty of suckers or hard candy.. because smoking isnt just nicotine addictive.. its also addictive by having the hand mouth thing as well..

Let him name something about you he does not like, and you agree to change that for him, if he will agree to stop smoking. Then you can change something of yourself for each other. You can support each other in this change instead of making threats.

My husband quit by useing the new pill they have out. it stops the user from getting any drag from smokeing. hence you can still smoke but you don’t get the benefit from it.

my dr gave that to me and i in return gave it to one of my friends who wanted to quit.. i have smoked for 20 years.. and i personally like to smoke because it helps me with my emotions instead of eating..

He’ll only quit when he’s ready - you can offer support and set your own personal boundries. If you can’t stand his smoking then walk away. If you simply care about his health and lifestyle but don’t think his smoking is a deal breaker, then hang in there.

my boyfriend’s only 16..im trying to look out for him, get what im saying?

but again.. just like an alcoholic or drug user.. the only way they will stop is once they realize that its not good for them and they themselves want to quit.. someone hounding on him about quitting is not going to make them stop.. but probably make them do it more.

maybe he likes to smoke he will only quit if he wants to take it from a smoker once he starts feelin like he cant breath he will quit if hes too addictied oh well you cant controll someone or they will leave

break up with him! lol

cigarettes are nasty to non-smokers

why does he say that? he knows it’s bs or does he really think he will and just doesn’t?

he’s addicted :|

how old is he and how many cigarettes would you say he smokes a day?

well i think you should just leave him unless you want to just grin and bear his nasty smoking, for reals lol

Nicotine is very addictive and it is difficult to quit. I have been smoking for 13 years. Not saying he shouldn’t quit, but I am saying it is a lot easier said than done.

well my boyfriend went to rehab cuz a long time ago he was doing coke and my mom broke us up after that we went back together like almost after 3 years and he cant quit so he started smoking maryjuana and he does not want to smoke any more so now i just heaard the news that he can start smoking just for a little while but since he has asthma its realy bad for him so they only let him chew gum when he is egore to smoke and that seems to help him alot so he can try chewing gum when wants to smoke maybe that can help him quit!
