How can i help my bf stop smoking? -
Without being annoying???People smoke for two reasons according to a Harvard Study that has now become very famous. 1) A death wish and 2) to show other people that they are in control of their lives and no body is going to tell them what to do. Both of these are very negative reasons and hard to overcome unless you can get to the -root- of the problem. The physical addiction of smoking leaves the body in a few days, but it is the emotional aspect that is the difficult one. Most people don-t realize what the -root- cause is because they have lived with it for a long time.To tell someone that smoking is bad for you and to stop is not the answer. Because it-s bad for them, this simply supports the person-s ultimate goal. When you look at what smoking really is, it-s not hard to logically come to the conclusion that it-s very bad for you and you should not do it. The cigarette smokes, not the person, all the person does is suck. Burnt clothing, wrinkling skin, hoarse throat, lung cancer, and all the bad things you can say about it just feeds the addiction, not deter it.
If you care about this guy, you need to let him know that if he doesn-t stop, you cannot put yourself in this position because it will affect your health as well. If you choose to stay if he doesn-t quit, you need to look at your own issues as well. His life will be cut short and yours as well if you continue with this relationship.
There are many techniques that can be used to get to the -root- cause of his problem, but you need to confront this problem directly and sorry if it makes him irritated, you should be more irritated than him.
Look into EFT techniques to get to the root cause and then he needs to deal with that or he will never quit.
good luck to you
There is no doubt that smoking is probably the hardest thing to stop on this planet. But there are lots of numbers and groups and programs that you can use to stop smoking. I have a blog on my website that has lots of info on this topic and what many countries are doing to try to cut down on the amount of people smoking. And to not be annoying, you just gotta be real with him and tell him that you arn-t digging it and its really bothering you. If he cares, he will listen.

Those patches are pretty good,what he needs is your support,keep any mate-s that smoke away from him for awhile/if he asks for one make sure his mate-s don-t do it
My biggest down fall is having a few beer-s then my will power goes down the S bend and i start up again.
I think that-s about itYou can-t. He has to make the decision. However, you can decide that you don-t want to date someone who smokes. That could be the wake up call he needs.
