How to get my new bf to stop smoking???

I’m really worried about him, he lives 6 hours away from me and he told me that he smoked b/c it relaxes him b/c things go on in hiz life that upset him and i try to do everything i can to help him, and i told him it was bad for him and he said ik, but it just helps me to relax…And then i waz thinking maybe if i could find something else to help him relax other than cigarettes, then maybe that could help…But i know it’s not easy to quit smoking(so i’m told, i’ve never smoked before), and he even told me that but he really wants to quit and just can’t, plz help!!!

Answer #1

It depends on how long he has been smoking. my husband smokes as well. If you really care about him, just support him. Thats all you can do.

Answer #2

Answer #4

Answer #5

:/ Hmm… Well you can tell him he needs to TRY to stop smoking. There are other ways to get relaxed. Killing yourself slowly shouldn’t be one of them. The best way i can think of this is you can test how much he really cares about himself and you. Give him a test. Tell him he needs to atleast try to find a way to quit or you guys are done. –I’m not saying to really break up with him,just say that. And if he can’t and refuses then it shows he doesn’t care enough about you or himself to stop a habbit that,with will power can be broken.

Answer #6

tell him that if you are going to be together then he needs to stop.. and you wont kiss him until you do. if he dosent stop or agree to what your saying then hes not right for you

Answer #7

Well, first of all, since this is new boyfriend, you might have to wait a while to bring it up, or he might end up being an “old boyfriend” faster than you thought.

All you can do for a person with an addiction is let them know how you feel….no nagging, no threatening…you aren’t talking to your boyfriend, you’re talking to the addiction…and you will lose.

Answer #8

See if he’ll try out the new E-Cigs. They don’t smell and give your body the toxins like cigarettes. The only thing it gives you is the nicotine that smokers crave. Its more healthy and a great alternative to quitting since it is so hard to quit.

Answer #9

The nicotine found with the cigarette is a drug… and not all of the nicone is naturally found in the cigarette companies add it to their product
