How can I help my Husband stop smoking?

help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more

My husband says he wants to quit smoking we have tried chantix, the patch, nicorette, and everything else under the sun. Last week he told me to even take his debit cards so he wouldn’t be able to buy cigarettes, then today he tells me that he stole change from our 9 year old sons coin collection to buy cigarettes! I am so upset I can not even speak to him, I’m just at a complete loss,If he diesn’t stop this I am going to leave. PLEASE HELP !!!

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again

    You should have thought about this before marrying a smoker. That’s just common sense.

    Your leaving him when he wants to and has made efforts to quit? Guess you didn’t mean those vows after all…

    Talk to his doctor about options.

    Just hide all the money you can think of that’s laying around. Don’t get angry with him, he knows he’s weak so he’s asking you to help make him stop. And don’t let up no matter what he says. My husband was having lots of trouble going on a diet … but then he broke his foot. These days he gets an apple for breakfast or he gets nothing. He’s losing weight too. He was really annoyed with me for this at first, but he’s adjusted pretty quickly.

    It is an addiction, just like any other addiction. He has to want to quit. Than take the big step. Nothing will help if he doesn’t want to quit. Most smokers take 3 to 7 times to try quitting before they quit. Ultimatums don’t work Keep fresh cut up vegetables and fruit in the fridge.for him to snack on.

    Nicotine triggers a specific chemical in the brain (maybe dopamine), ask the appropriate doctor to help with chemical transition.

    Hypnosis. For him.

    Give the electronic cigarette a try!
    He can wean himself with that from smoking slowly but surely!
    You can find them online – get a good quality kit.
    It’s worth it!

    Get over it lady. It’s just some cigarettes. Not like he’s stealing change to get a bj from the lady on the corner.

    It sounds like he wants to stop – if that is the case, it should be fairly simple.

    If he smokes say 20 a day, then he reduces that by one cigarette every 3 days. Then, he starts reducing the nicotine rating, say after a week, spaced out so his body won’t easily realize. That way he is smoking less each day with less nicotine – but he isn’t going cold turkey. Give him something like carrot sticks or celery or something healthy to eat to take the place of the cigarettes in his hand.

    Suggest that he really has to set his mind to doing it, and tell himself that he CAN do it.

    If he won’t try something like that, I have seen advertisements for Chinese acupuncturists/herbalists saying smoking can be stopped in two visits. It’s in print, so you would think it should be true or they could be sued…..

    Good luck.
