How do I make/help my fiance stop smoking?

My fiance smokes and I really really hate it. He says he wants to quit sometime in the near future but he never does. I have bought him the patch but he doesn’t use it. Any suggestions?

    he’ll only quit when he’s ready to quit. i have had many friends tell me they want to quit smoking but they only say that to impress me. when he’s ready, he’ll quit.

    He’ll only quit when he really wants to..nobody can force smokers to quit..

    At most u can try asking him to reduce the number of sticks he smokes a day..

    tell him that if he wants to smoke he cant stand near you..and there’ll be no hugs & especially kisses for him after he smokes and until you feel like that cigarette smell around him has kind of dispersed..so perhaps this will make him think twice about smoking or at least when u r around..

    hope it helps..

    sorry to say but no one can make anyone do anything!!!
    if he wants to quit he will WHEN he is fully ready. Its a habbit habbits of any kind are hard o break its all in the head, and in order for him to quit he has to prepare himself for it.

    Most people who smoke wish they didn’t. They live with a hatred for the habit they can’t seem to do without. The fear of serious illness is usually there too, lurking in the background, and always that awful feeling of being powerless to quit.

    Nicotine addiction does that to a person. See this link

    It took me years to quit and I had to make the decision myself. Just be there to encourage him when he decides to quit. Let him know that you want a future with him and smoking can lead to many serious medical conditions.

    This is a decision he must make for himself.

    Easy tell him to chew on a coffee stir straw it works for me it relieves alot of stress and makes me feel a nice sensation. I think you also need to get him some of those flavored toothpiks off line get cinnamon or whatever flavor he wants. You are going to have to tell him to substitute his stress like towards excercising. I would also advice that he become more spiritual. get him the nicotine patch or another form of medecine to help him stop. It’s simple as that

    If he truly wants to quit, only his own willpower can help him. It doesn’t matter what you say or what anyone else says. Unless he is fully committed, there is no way for him to successfully quit. All you can do is offer your support when he does decide to quit. Otherwise, let him do what he wants to do.

    you can not make him quit. You can inform him of the problems of smoking. There are great sites on the web. You just missed the great american smoke out. It is the Thursday before Thanksgiving. You can ask him not to smoke around you. You can tell him that it will hurt your future children. Second hand smoke is just as bad or worse than the smoking. there is a higher rate of Sids in smokers homes. Also his life can be shorter than normal. Does he want to live to see his children grow up.

    If he is not ready to quit maybe he is not ready to get married.

    If you really want to quit smoking do what I did. Buy the eCigarette. It works great, you still get to smoke and there is no tar, tabbaco, or smell. I am telling you I bought it at a mall for $150, I found it for about $70 at http://www.giftgiftgifts.com/cat-ecigarette.cfm and there is a lot of information at http://www.gadgetworldus.com/eCigrettes.html Ceck it out.
