How can i stop my husband to quit smoking? -
You can-t. It-s an addiction that-s difficult to quit. But let him know that you love him and that you want the best health possible. My father died from smoking and it was terrible to watch. He had emphysema and literally drowned in the fluid building up in his lungs. I wish your husband could have spent one hour with my father while he was in the hospital, watching all the procedures they had to do to keep his lungs clear. Your husband would give up smoking immediately. But like I said, it-s an addiction that is very difficult to give up.
My husband stopped because I told him that I loved him and needed him to live and be healthy so we can spend more time together. I also told him that his breath stinked. Ha-ha. I wouldn-t kiss him as often so he missed that and I guess he got tired of brushing his teeth everytime he wanted a kiss.
If your husband loves smoking,you can become more lovely and alluring.Please try it in all sincerity.
Don-t shame him and nag - offer suggestions. Tell him to think of it as a bad habit that-s affecting you both and habits can be changed, then suggest ways to look at the possibilities of this change.
He wont die or have a heart attack or lose a limb or go into respiratory arrest or suddenly grow out of control cancer cells - if he quits. But he has 50% more chance if he continues smoking.
Maybe, maybe not, some miserable temporary quitting symptoms, but always bearable and the absolute relief to be free of that hassle is worth it.
He can get his instant gratification a heap of other ways - that-s what you can encourage him to be focusing on, not puffing away his life and your respect. Lots of interesting stuff at

You can-t. That-s his personal choice, not yours.
Don-t stop him, support him.
By quitting smoking, he will save a lot of heartache and money down the track.
there are many programs online and in the world that help smokers stop.

I recommend this book. It is about how people change, beginning with people who don-t want to change. It shows the stages of change and how to move from one change to the next. Smoking cessation is one thing it deals with.
The book is -Changing for Good- by James O. Prochaska, 1994, ISBN 0-380-72572-X.
I want my boyfriend to quit smoking too because I love him to death and I care about him and his health. Just tell him that you really care about him and tell him about all the deadly diseases he could get from smoking but keep in mind that it-s gonna take 3 major things and that-s time, patience, and support for him to stop for good.
if all else fails, try showing him everything what a smoker deserves. u know what i mean? a lot of diseases.in fact there are more or less 50 diseases out just one stick of cigarette.
THIS METHOD WORKS FOR ME AND IS MONEY BACK GUARANTEED I QUIT SMOKING 2 YEAR AGO WHIT THIS METHOD.
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK! ;)
you can-t
Have a child and convince the child to fire up a lung dart at the ripe old age of three. Make sure that dad sees him or her smoking and he will quit. We all care more about the impact we make on our kids then the one we make on our own body. I chewed tobacco for 15 years the my 3 year old starting spitting in empty pop bottles.
He is 6 now and I haven-t touched the stuff in 3 years.
