tell him to eat it or put something hot on one of the ends
Deny him sex and any other physical contact until he does.
supervise him
Give him gum or tell him it’s gum when it’s really nicotine gum to make him stop. Or no just ask him to stop cuase your concerned.
he won’t stop smoking until he is fully committed to quitting. If he can’t quit by himself, then he should see his doctor and he/she can recommend some options for him
You do not make anyone do anything. You don’t control others.
He has to make this decision himself. If he’s ready to quit smoking, he should talk to his doctor about the options available to him. He can quit cold turkey, he can use the stop smoking patch, there’s stop smoking gum, and there’s also prescription medication that he can take.
With any stop smoking aid, it has to be used properly and according to the directions.
You can’t do this for him. He has to do it for himself. All you can do is be supportive.
There is no way to make anyone stop anything they do not really want to stop. He can go to a doctor and get some medication to help him stop.
Nicorette gum, the patch and other aids.
He has to want it more than you do.
There is no way to “make” someone do something they don’t want to do.
Talk to him, explain your concerns, that due to his recent health problems you would be happier if he decided to quit smoking as you are concerned for his future health and you want him to take care of himself – be careful that you don’t come across and nagging or demanding though.
If once you have spoken to him he decides that he doesn’t want to quit, you can’t make him, so instead of nagging him about it, let it go – and maybe bring it up again in a few months if his health has suffered again.
If he decides that he is willing to try to quit, be supportive, suggest he tries something like the patches or gum and don’t get mad with him if he still sneaks a cigarette now and again as he would end up resenting you for it and stop trying to give up smoking.
Be patient and Good Luck
Yes he can stop, it’s called willpower. It’s very hard to beat the cravings of nicotene. Believe me, I KNOW! I quit smoking on 1/1/10. It has been extremely hard, but I stopped for my boyfriend & children. The more you give him a hard time, the more he is gonna want to do it. So please don’t badger him about it. Talk to him calmly & just let him know you will be there for him when he puts those cancer sticks down. Give him motivation. Tell him that you will be “extra nice” to him if he comes to you when he has a craving (if you know what I mean
It will take him mind off of the cravings. Give him something to look forward to when he’s done.
You CAN’T make someone stop smoking. It’s up to him when and if he decides to stop. There’s lots of aids that can help. Im on Commit lozenges, mint flavor and so far so good. Been like 20 days now. He can ask his doc for a prescription for one of the many aids to stop including stop smoking clinics. But again, it’s up to him..not u but good luck
Yes , You can ask him go for a doctor
But be honest , You cant help him unless he help himself
All you can do is tell him what is the price he get from smoking
Like brain cancer that can end your life ,
If you continue telling him this stuff
I think he would might just wanna stop
Nobody wanna end thier own life right?
try an acupuncturist I have heard of people they have helped.
I begin to smoke since 13,I don’t think there is a affect method to stop smoking.
If he wants to stop smoke,try to smoke less day by day.
You cant make him stop smoking. The american heart association did a study and found one method worked better than pills cold turkey, the patch, or gum.
Place ten cigarettes in a zip lock bag, you can see what you have and that is all you smoke for the day. Do this for one week. In week two you start every morning with nine cigarettes.
Continue doing this eliminating one cigarette a day until you are down to one a day. At that point you stop the next week.
you can,t make him ! it will be up to him to make an effort to stop first. some people has to have help and then there are some who can quit cold turkey.
Smoking is an addiction only he can beat and only if he wants to. You can not fix an addict or any other personality disorder only the addict can. Giving him nicotine gum without his knowledge is a very bad idea, there are extreme health risks there. An unknown heart disease that can even be prevalent in young people. Nicotine poisoning (over dose of nicotine can kill.) Nagging, threatening or money doesn’t change the habit either. I don’t like the word habit though a habit is involved as well as the addiction. This tends to soften the reality that it is an addiction. One of the hardest to kick by the way. And you are not going to kick it unless you really want to. Like any other habit it might take several attempts to quit.
If you want to help prayer is a power full tool, even scientist recognize this, but don’t pray that he gets sick when he smokes that is not a prayer but a curse. How would you like to get sick every time you did something you couldn’t help. Besides it might make him miss school or work. Better to pray that he looses the desire and takes an interest in what it is doing to his health. Add that the cravings, habits involved will go away and it will look unattractive to him. A couple of times when I tried to quit I found my self reaching for my top pocket or bringing my hands to my mouth. Some people start chewing or sucking on pens and pencil. I finally quit with prayer and have no cravings or after habits. Unfortunately I waited to long and there is some breathing problems. Shortness of breath. You see I started at 13 and didn’t quit till I was 50 something. When he is ready there are on line help tips. If you poo poo prayer keep in mind that a lot of addiction programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous recognize a higher power and spirituality is one of the cycles involved in the cure. Go to a church and get some people to pray with you. the bible refers to one or more gathered in His name. I like Pentecostal or spirit filled churches because there faith in healing by prayer is strong. You perhaps noticed in the news that faith healing that were going on in Lakewood.
Hope this helps.
there is no way you can help him give up doing this bad habit unless he dares himself to stop it. in response to suggestion not to have sex with him or sth like that until he stops smoking, it’ll not help, conversely – he’ll get stressed and smoke even more. best way to give up doing sth, is to find a good activity, because when you’re busy, you forget about such habits. Believe me, I know what say.
If you hate smoking. Don’t date smokers. That’s just common sense.
