How Do I Help My Boyfriend Stop Smoking and Be Supportive?
Question by Q: How do I help my boyfriend stop smoking and be supportive?
[rewrite]I don’t date smokers, but before we started, he promised he’d quit smoking for me… Stupid me, that was 6 months ago… He smokes a pack a day, but he rips the filters off the cigarette before he smokes them. I spent a lot of money on patches for him, which really reduced his smoking, but he couldnt even go a day without a cigarette even while wearing a patch. And now he’s back to smoking like he used to. He wants to quit, he even called a quit smoking hotline. He ‘tries’ quitting or at least cutting back pretty often, but nothing really improves. I was very supportive at first always telling him he’s doing a great job when he makes a minor improvement, …but after trying to help so much with no result, I’m starting to give up. It makes me scared because when I lay next to him, I hear his lungs making squeaky noises when he breathes. I know what it’s like to be addicted to something, but why is it so hard for him to NOT go to the store and buy cigarettes…

The only way he’ll quit is if he truly wants to. If you don’t like it that much.. you probably shouldn’t be with him. If you know what it’s like to be addicted to something, you’d understand why he’s addicted to smoking.
