Question

My boyfriend is an amazing person, but he has the nasty habit of smoking cigarettes. I wish I could not worry about the fact that he smokes, it's just really difficult for me since I've seen so many people negatively affected by smoking in my lifetime.

Examples: My great-grandmother was a smoker who died from lung cancer, and my two half-siblings both have respiratory issues as a result of secondhand smoke from my dad. And one of my mom's friends died from lung cancer because her husband smoked.

I care about him a lot, that's why I want him to quit. He says that the more I tell him not to smoke the more he wants to do it. When I asked him why he said he doesn't know. "That's just the way I am." He says. I have no idea what to do at this point. :(

Answer

I am 18 now and have smoked on and off and now I smoke almost a pack a day. Smokers actually hate the habit, I know I do. It's an addiction. You have to wean yourself off of it, and you can't quit until your ready. My boyfriend recently quit (so proud of him) and he wants me to also buy he's supportive of me and doesn't talk down to me for it. Trust me, your bf most likely hates it. I would say just be supportive and if he could try it, cinnamon flavored gum and cinnamon toothpicks help a ton.

My boyfriend currently smokes like a chimney he has for years now,  even though he's had a cough for 5 WEEKS STRAIGHT now, I've sat down with him and had a serious convo about how negatively it's affecting him and me. his cough keeps both of us at night, so he's agreed to slowly cut down. You need to just tell him how upset it's making you and the health affects it can and is having on you! It's such a bad thing to do

Answer

I convinced my boyfriend to go for a vape and he did, with the help of our friend who has been vaping for a while. It's a big step, and it takes allot of self-control and dicipline. But, he's doing good so far! So try that route, and over time, try decreasing the nicotine dosage in the vape juice! 👍🏻

Answer

Only way I've ever been able to quit is by using an ecig.

Answer

As a person who smokes, we're stubborn. I've smoked since I was 11. My very first boyfriend hated me smoking and always got mad at me which resulted in me wanting to smoke more. Not to piss him off but because of the habit. When you feel stressed you want to smoke. My current boyfriend smokes too and since we both smoke I find myself saying "I need to quit" everyday. And more willing to do so. Maybe it's just me. Idk.  Smoking is a horrible habit.
