How do I quit smoking when every time I see my husband I want a cigarette? -
My husband wants me to quit (so do I) but he is one of my triggers. I am fine when he is not home but as soon as he get home I want a cigarette. How do I handle this situation?
it-s not -psychological- - ya don-t need to -talk- to him about it;; it-s a HABIT, just like smoking;; break the habit, you-ll quit the crave;; go grab a yogurt from the fridge when he gets home, go vaccuum the floor, give him a kiss instead, let it lead to the bedroom, oh, well, then you-ll really want a cigarette after that, so can that;; but find something to do with your hands - your mind when he gets home...
U need to work as a team and encourage one another to stop

This sounds like it could be a deeply psychological issue. You might even want to talk to a therapist about this. They will help you understand why he is a trigger for you and how you can overcome this association or replace it with something healthier.
