How to make wife stop smoking completely? -

Wife and I have been together 7 years, 10 if you count the BF/GF dating part. I-ve known her from the start to be a smoker, i-ve lived with it. Although she doesn-t smoke as often as she did before and she almost quit, except for a stick or two every few weeks, or when under stress, or when she goes out with friends over dinner. It doesn-t sound THAT bad, but I do want her to stop considering she and our kids are asthmatic and that I want for us to get a life insurance. We-re both in our early 30-s. Any ideas how to approach or handle this? Do i confront her or just live with it.There are many things she can do. the gum and patch and etc. but remember she has to have the drive and will-power to do it, or she can go to her doctor and get medication. Good Luckmy boyfriend-s parents smoked all their lives and his dad quit 5 or so years ago.

a) she-s a SHE, she-s got to have some vain beauty concerns floating around....harp on those (the ugly wrinkles around her mouth, aged look, think Rachel Zoe--google her if you dont know who that is)

b) my boyfriend was asthmatic until his parents started smoking outside. it-s smoke induced asthma. your wife caused your children-s asthma. harp on the child factor and how they-re affected because of her bad habit. also, it-s been recently proven that theres something called 3rd hand smoke--the smoke thats left behind from someone smoking in a car, smoke on clothes. also if you have any pets, theyre being affected too

c) if worst comes to worse (this is going to sound stupid but my boyfriend-s 65 yr old father SWEARS by it) hypnotism. to make a long story (shorter because i already wrote a book) he tried everything in the book and was a heavy smoker since he was 16, nothing could stop him from totally quitting. finally he was so fed up he went to a hypnotist and never touched a cig again.Tell her how you really feel about it, but don-t start laying a bunch of facts on her or she-ll get irritated.
