help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more
My boyfriend and I are almost sixteen. Long story short, both of us have a very rough life. As a stress relief, he smokes (I don’t). He wants to quit for me, and had completely stopped for a week but then he needed to smoke. I told him that this isn’t something he can quit at the drop of a hat and that it takes time and effort, and that I wasn’t disappointed in him. He really does want to quit. How can I help him?
And its just tobacco. He doesnt do anything else

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
i like your attitude when you say you told him you wasnt disappointed with him.There is noithing worse than being nagged about it , and your support is invaluable.Try and get him to focus on the one main reason why he wants to quit, and keep going over it before the next attempt, so that when he thinks of a smoke ,this comes straight into his head .
Incidentally, smoking does not relieve stress. what happens is , when you are under pressure you light up so that you dont have the cravings to smoke to deal with as well, because that would be double trouble. All the best
tell him if he quits everytime he wants a fag youll give him head…..he wont smoke but youll get jaw ache.
try the nicotine patch and see a doctor weekly to help him. give him lots of support and tell him that he doesn’t need it because he doesn’t.
Pretend that your going to break up with him if he doesn’t. Sorry but that’s the only way i that i can see that works. It ain’t easy to stop.
A fairly new medication called Chantix really helps. He will need a prescription to get it, but if a person’s ready to quit, it makes it easier.
he has to be absolutely ready to quit all together….he relapsed which isn’t necessariyl a bad thing but he has to really want it or he’s not going to be able to quit…he shouldnt be getting cigarettes anyway considering you guys aren’t 18. and if it’s just tobacco and he still does it well *shrugs* he’ll quit when he’s good and ready…and he’ll quit for himself.
Hi
When it comes to quitting smoking the best advice I can give you is this … the smoker has to want to quit for himself.
As much as he may want to quit for you, unless he really wants to quit it will be extremely difficult.
My suggestion is that you sit down with him and help him write a list of all the pros and cons for quitting.
Once your boyfriend makes the decision that HE wants to quit for himself and that he can identify those reasons, then the journey will be much easier.
The problem isnt the choice to quit, as you’ve already experienced, he can stop smoking, the problem is staying a non smoker, this is where the most support is needed.
Good luck!
