How Can I help my boyfriend stop smoking? -

My boyfriend says that he has been smoking since he was 12. I understand that it is had to quit anything addictive and I want to help make it easier for him. He has tried to quit several times since we have been going out (2 years), even deciding before we met that he wanted to stop. The issue is he gets very agitated without cigarettes and then eventually either bums it off of other people or breaks down and buys a new pack. I know he no longer really likes to smoke but he hates how he acts when he does not have nicotine. We can-t get patches because we can-t afford another cost, also another reason why he is quitting because of the cost. I want to help make this easier for him but I obviously can-t make the whole world more pleasant for him with the a snap of my fingers. I would like some advice from those that have had similar situations. I don-t want answers from those that have not been through this.You must know what are the advantages of quitting:

This will keep you motivated throughout. My friend was chain smoker and he quit. He use to say, just be mentally strong and you can do it. Here are some tips that helped him:

Just tell him he is putting his life your life and everyone else life-s at risk.

Tell him he is going to end up in hospital with lung cancer or brain cancer at a very young age and well upset his family, and if you don-t like it you should tell him you will leave him because you don-t really want to die.try cuttin his ciggis in half once he finishes that pack. do it again. then the next pack cut off more then half for the next 2 packs. then only leave a few drags for the next few packs. until you get to only one drag. yes it is wasting his money on one drag but he is still wasting his money if he smoked them any way...hopefully after he slowly cuts down he will learn to handle it...im tryin to help my riend stop to.

good luck x x
