Getting boyfriend to stop smoking? -
My recent boyfriend smokes, which make me really disappointed. I really like him, just not this habit. I-m really not too sure how he would respond if I directly approached him about it and I would hate to make it awkward between us. It bothers me and I would like to get him to stop. Help please!It depends how much you like him and how close you two are. If you don-t say anything, he-ll think your fine with it. You should speak up, especially if he smokes around you, you could get second-hand smoke, which is just as bad. If he really likes you, he should be willing to listen to you and give up smoking.Also, if you try to tell him to stop, you could tell him it-s because you care about him and his health. It-s in his best interest to stop smoking. Tell him it-s making you uncomfortable, and if he cares about you, he should stop.
It shouldn-t be awkward if he takes your advice to heart. You shouldn-t worry, because either he takes your advice and quits --or sincerely tries to, or he ignores you, in which case he-s not a very good boyfriend.tell him that you really like him but you c ouldnt be serious with him knowing that he smokes. you know that it is his body, but second hand smoke will hurt whoever he is around while smoking and that loving someone that is killing themselves would never fly with you knowing that his habit will take years away that yall could spend togetherYou could at least go next to him would out letting him know and not knowing him there. Pretend saying that one of ur family or friend die of smoking alot maybe that will stop him.Show your concern but, he-ll stop when he wants to stop. Smokers are very stubborn people and it-s best to just let your opinion be known and leave it at that. If you try to force him that will only cause resentment in your relationship.
To show your support you could buy him some Tar Bars, there-s no such thing as a -safe- cigarette but the Tar Bars will collect the nicotine and tar found in a cigarette. I-ve known people who decided to quit after seeing all the junk the bar collected. Who knows, it may work for him. You can get them at gas stations and drug stores.I-ve had this same problem with a lot of the guys I dated.
I was very upfront about it with them and told them I hated it and I even went to desperate measures to hide their ciggarettes from them I don-t encourage that because they get really angry lol.. just talk to him about it I doubt he would give it up.. from my experiences they never do.
