How can I motivate my boyfriend to stop smoking? -

Try telling him all the complications due to smoking...and to quit smoking one must will power. Maybe try to get the nicitine patch for him and stuff like that...keep working him until he gives it up.tell him if he doesn-t you will leave. it worked for my angel. she told me that and now I don-t smoke or chew or drinkWave goodbye.Well.............first of all the more you hound him about it the more he will smoke. Unfortunately I know because I am a smoker and have had ppl try and pressure me to quit. It is a decision he will have to make on his own. Chances are he smoked when you fell in love with him so now you-ll just have to deal with it till he chooses to quit. With all the ta-do about smoking and quitting he will feel pressure everywhere and I-m sure sooner or later he will quit. You can ask him not to smoke around you and he should respect that. it is a battle and I know I have to quit and have tried several times and just bought a whole bunch of patches to try again.....soooo have Patience and let him know your there for him but let him know that you don-t want to be around it.if he don-t stop smoking then he don-t get sexYou can-t force him to stop but you can let him know how much he means to you and how much you hate the smoking. I have 2 friends that both quit by taking Zyban for a short period of time and neither one of them has ever touched a cigarette in years. And neither of them ever went through the bad withdrawals that some people deal with. And how about letting him read these messages? If he knows it-s that important to you, maybe it will give him the motivation he needs.You can-t talk someone into it, or use an ultimatum. That simply is not fair, and at best it-s unsupportive. Try not to nag at him, and use information to kind of -remind- him of the dangers to his health. Examples are getting brochures with pictures of cancerous lungs, and pamphlets about the dangers of smoking, statistics, etc. Just leave these laying around where he can read them without being put on the spot or pressured. Only he can make the decision to quit, and it will be tough enough, so be loving and supportive, even if his first few attempts fail. Good luck and good health!Be closer to him when hes not smoking akd keep away when he has anything showing that he smokes.don-t even bother! he needs to want to stop. the best way i have found to quit smoking (last week) without anxiety, grief, or withdrawal, is to read allen carrs book, -THE EASYWAY TO STOP SMOKING- It really works!!!!!
