How to let him quit smoking ???

Hi there all Guppies
well lemme be straight forward to the question, how to make sumone quit smoking???

My fiance is smoker :(, i usually ask him to quit his smoking habbit, as its injurious to health and me too dont like it personally, but he always says that yes i will try but still he is stick to it

sumtimes to mazak mai ura detay hain k ***" ek time mai ek GF to saath honi chahiye na" ***:smack:

as we are not on the same land and are in different countries, so he replies like that which is irritating for me. he is loving and so caring, he is always there for me wenever i need him, but …wenever i ask him to quit smoking, he makes excuses n switches to another topic :frowning:

any tips & tricks for convincing him ???
Ur comments…

there is nothing you can say that will stop him.

he has to want to stop. he has to have the willpower. if so then he can try nicorette gum or go to the docs.

but usually habits die hard and addictions die harder.

very simple..dont request him to quit... just tell him he is not smoking for this moment onwards and stick to it.

atleast my wife did this me and I am happily out of it for good.

it takes time, not easy u know

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

I agree with haimeradil, I smoked for over a decade, and quitting has to be something that HE wants to do. Just asking or nagging someone to quit will make them smoke more, unfortunately, this is HIS battle.

how sweet, that seems to be a gud idea, but the thing is that he in another state and i cant be there every hour, or we have less vocal conversations :(, how i am gonna be strict to him, i mean i cant take n throw away his cigrette

how to deal it from distance…:teary1:

^ in that case u r jumping the guns.

Let him do whatever he is doing untill u get married and when u do get married.. thats it..End of story.

Your long distance persuation will NOT work at all.

Take it easy !

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

I smoked for 3 years before marraige and about 2 years after.

My wife tried many tricks on me but i never budged. Then when i had my son, she told me i was not allowed to smoke at home to which i complied and then just one day while driving i decided i will quit, i threw the cigarette pack out of the window and have never smoked after that.

:(,
hhmm but i kno that this is not a healthy stuff thats why i m worried, thats it, dont want him to let go in the flow

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

As crazy it may sound but I think boys look really cool smoking :$

oo come on aminas, its too injurious to health :smack:
not kool

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

^ May be but thats how I feel :D

Good demonstration of will power!

That is the best way to quit , cold turkey , I know some quitters who did it this way , there are other alternatives too. But again it boils down to smoker , he/she has to want to quit.

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

unless he realize that its injurious to health and he need to quit, there is nothing much you can doo. People can get rid of Smoking and weight loss ONLY if they have a inner motivation to do that else nothing helps.

most of the guys quit smoking after getting married and even more after becoming father. Its then they realize that its not only bad for them but for their family too

For lighter side of it send him this link

:slight_smile:

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

I smoked for almost a decade too before quitting. Its been 8 months now since im cold turkey. No patches no nothing.

I agree, it boils down to the willpower of the smoker!!!

cant stand a guy who smokes. and if he must tell him to step out and enjoy cancer please. chivalry is dead.

Re: How to let him quit smoking ???

Firstly, he has to want to stop, with cigs its quite hard as its usually something they do to pass the time i.e cab drivers/security guards ect, it's easier for professional people, anyway, if he comes to a point when he really wants to quit, forget nicorette patches, theyre for wimps & probably take too long to get him off the cigs. A more effective way is to use black pepper, a little placed under the tongue whenever he feels like smoking, believe me, soon he'll never want to smoke again, 'pain association' method works very well. This way you can test what kind of man your married to, his determination & an idea of his pain threshold........as long as you can put up with his pepper breath for a while.
But first you gotta deal with distance issue, you gotta get him as close to the underneath part of your thumb as possible.
