well 1/2 pack a week isnt bad at all and yooh ahould be thankful for that but i would just talk to him about how badly yooh really want him to quit but yooh gotta think that its not that easy to stop i mean the only thing that finnaly pushed meh to stop was muh pregnancy an i still couldnt even stop untill i was about 15 weeks!! but i would jus tell him how strongly yooh feel about him quiten an try to get him to call a quit hotline for tips and a plan to stop or get him on the patch or somthing like that jus support him through it though because its not easy at allits very easysee its only half a pack for a week now try to control him with that for two more weeks just does not goes more than tat
after that just say to him whether he wants cigars r U girl friednHe has to want to quit first. Does he want to quit? If so, ask him how you can help him. If he doesn-t want to quit, then you probably can-t make him quit.that-s not even 1 a day. that-s not bad...A 1/2 a pack a week?!?!....That-s not much hunny, you should just let it go and let him enjoy his little smoke once in a while. If he gets to be smoking more, then maybe say something to him, otherwise why give him grief over that.........it might cause problems in your relationship unnecessarily.10 cigs ant that bad i seen ppl with 10 packs a week so just ask him to stop and if he wants to he will but if he likes to smoke y take his happiness awayi have been dating a smoker for 3 1/2 years as well. I have tried asking him to quit numerous times, all too which have failed. The only thing that is going to work is your boyfriend has to WANT to quit. Pestering him will only make him want to smoke more from the stress. :) 1/2 pack a week is pretty mild for a smoker however, my boyfriend smokes a pack every two days. I would simply let him know how it effects you and that you are simply worried about the long term effects- or try having him cut down on the number he smokes now, not quit, just give up a few, and see how that works. However, if he has no desire to, there is little you can do. good luck girl.There is nothing you can do. He-ll quit when he-s ready. And if he only smoke a half pack a week you should count your blessings, the average smoker in America smoke 1 1/2 packs a day, I smoke just under a pack a day. It-s a nasty habit but a habit all the same.You don-t. Nothing you can say or do will cause him to lose the habit.How did you quit smoking? Use the same technique on him.Blackmail him with the threat of sex strike.Talk to him about it and tell him how you feel about him smoking. Set a goal. Each week that he doesn-t smoke, give him a reward, getting bigger and bigger, start out with some chocolate or something, then a special night out, finally, something he-s wanted for awhile. If he truly loves you he will try to stop. If that doesn-t work, you could always take the cigarrettes away, especially if you live with him. I think the first way would work better though.You can tell him to quit, but he will NOT quit until he has made up his mind to quit. So don-t bother demanding that he quit.bite his earlobe every time he lit one up. if that doesn-t work, perform -a thousand years of pain- on him.
It should break him with enough time.You won-t, He has to commit to quit, nobody can make himhave you talked to him? well try if u haven-t u should try and if that dost work hide his smokes i did that when i was a lill kid ha haYou don-t. You can-t. He-ll quit only when he-s ready.1/2 a pack a wk is great, that-s about one a day, smoking was never a problem until they were smoothed where you could smoke all day long. one a day, a stogie or pipe isn-t that bad health wise.well thats pretty tough to do. i smoke and my boyfriend really wants me to quit. so i can tell u what doesnt work. dont nag him or start arguments about it. just let him know that u care about him and the reasons why u want him to quit. and dont remind him about it every time he lights one up.talk to him about it, but really the choice is his.Honestly, you can-t make someone break a habit that they don-t want to break. The only thing that you can do is choose if you want to continue living with him with this habit. If the answer is no, and he wants to be with you, he will have to choose which one is more important. You shouldn-t be commited to him until he has quit for an entire year, unless you are willing to live with this.smokie smokie = no nookie nookieYou can-t make him quit, just encourage him to quit. The more you nag, the more he will smoke.You can-t really make him stop. You can try tell him not to though it may not work.Threat him tat u will leave him...may b he want u more den smokingYou can-t. If you don-t like smoking, why did you pick a boyfriend who smokes?half a pack a week? jeez i would barely even call that smoking, and sister it aint happenin. if u let it go for 3 1/2 years and wanna start riding his *** now then he will only get pissed off and prolly smoke more!why dont you leave him and his habits be. is he on here asking how to make you stop being a hen pecking shrew? If it bothers you that much, find another man, or shut up and accept people for who they are. not who you think they should be.Nothing you can say or do will cause him to lose the habit.~He has to want to quit himself~talk to him about your concerns and why it bothers you.
just because you have let it go for that long doesn-t make you stupid or something--it just means you tried to deal with it and the fact that you can-t is fine, it-s your choice.
explain that you tried to deal with it but x, y and z is really getting to you and you would appreciate it if he didn-t smoke around you anymore.
do activities that are in a non-smoking setting.
show him things he could be doing with the money he wastes on ciggarettes each week.
don-t kiss him if he smells of smoke, make him brush his teeth first.
don-t feel bad about wanting him to quit-you should have no guilt. you want him to be cancer free, have healthy lungs and white teeth---there is nothing wrong with that.
