My husband and I have been together from 7 years now. He is 30, but he has been smoking since he was 15. I've tried to help him quit smoking. I've been mostly good, but sometimes nasty as well to him about it. Truly he's tried everythink to stop smoking as well. He's tried chewingums, paches (the strongest ones), even hypnosys. But nothing worked. He still smokes. He was smoking a packet of 20 when using the strongest paches. The nurse got so surprised when i told her that. She said that he was getting the nicotine from the patches and smoking as well was very dangerous, so we said "no" to the patches as well.He stops smoking for a few days and then strats again. If he has no cigarettes he becoms irritated and drives me nuts as well. Altough said that we love each other. I really don't know what more to do for him. Can someone tell me if there is anythink else we can both do to help him quit smoking forever?

Smoking while on the patch can kill him. He should not use the patch if he is going to smoke. Take him to a hospice and let him see all the people dying from cancer caused by smoking.

My brother could not quit. Until he was diagnosed with cancer, that is.

Chill.

Smoking is a grounding activity and helps people relax. Yes, its bad for you, but so is going to the doctor (3rd leading cause of death in the US: Physician Error).
I'm a violent, emotional ***** when I goo too long without, that said, I've cut down to about 6 a day unless I'm partying or really stressed. I'm not planning on living forver, I figure smoking is doing me more good than harm at this point, as I've alwayus had a VERY bad temper and can be downright abusive.
If I was ever serious about quitting I'd go camping for a week with no cigarettes, ALONE.

Another friend of mine jusr one day decided he was a nonsmoker. Instead of "I quit" he'd say "I don't smoke." He just changed his mindset.

the nurse is right about the nicotine patches. Have u tried prayer. Ask every Christian you know to pray, go to an internet prayer line also.
