I am begining to think he is a nasty hillbilly. I really thought it would make him want to quit when he saw his brand new baby girl but no, he thinks she should have to smell it too.
When I take away his smokes and he "tries to quit" (ya right) he lets himself get really angry and it seems to me as if he is an emotional tard.
I cannot stand the gross noises he makes especialy while I sleep and I hate his filthy inhaler that depletes the ozone.
That was sort of a vent
any great idea that I get a kick out of gets best answer
thanks ahead.

Don't be so hard on him! Addiction is a hard thing to kick. Everyone makes mistakes, and he probably didn't realize exactly what he was getting into when he started smoking. If he's not concerned about his own health, stress the effects that being around second hand smoke can have on his daughter. As far as him getting really angry -- that happens to most men when they go through nicotine withdrawals. If you really want him to quit, you're going to have to be supportive, even if it seems like he's being an as*hole. Has he tried the patch or the prescription medicine? My mom used the nicotine patch, she was a 2 pack a day smoker for almost 20 years and she was able to quit pretty easily. I've heard good things about the medicine too. Offer these suggestions. Good luck!

No addict is going to quit until they want to, and no amount of love or nagging will change that. HOWEVER...
You and especially your little girl don't deserve to breathe death. If he's not ready to quit, he should at least take it outside (and I don't mean hanging out the window or standing by an open door)
If he won't respect you and her enough to do this, it is a major sign indicating his true emotions for the both of you, and this attitude will carry through in other areas of life.
Not kicking the habit yet is one thing, but bringing others down with you is another.
Oh, and if he does decide to quit, try the jar method: Every day for a month, put all your butts in a jar. Don't change your smoking pattern, but pay attention to your habits - what gets you wanting a smoke? Boredom, times of day, seeing someone else do it, social time, etc. Then, on the last day, enjooooooy every smoke! Remind yourself that this is goodbye to something that's been in your life for a long time. Savour that last cigarette, put it in the jar, then fill the jar with water and close the lid. Keep it out where you can see it, nice and handy. Everytime you want a smoke, open the jar and take a big sniff. Yummy! After a while, you will just look at the jar and shudder.
It's worked for four friends of mine. Key is knowing which triggers are hardest for you.
If you do slip up, you didn't fail, you just found a trigger that needs a new strategy to avoid it. Make a plan, and keep going.

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

First off,.. it's up to them.
My mom is with such an idiot,..
.... the addictions go, the behavior stays,.. people make comments because he acts like he is on things he is not on. I am thinking at this point that people assumed he was on these things and that's why he went along with it. Now with it gone it's all the personality of the addict + " But I quit! Because YOU!"
I can tell you how I got my mom to stop smokeing when I was a baby. I told her all about her lungs as a coughed in the car while she was smokeing. That was when I was 2 years old I guess. She got sick of me grossing her out and telling her those were the reasons she was haveing problems with her lungs. She ended up quitting because the sight of the cigarettes made her sick to the stumock from assosiation to the images I put in her head about her lungs.
If he wants to smoke,.. tell him to grow and dry his own tabacco because the stuff he has is sprayed with pesticides after the pest are nesting in it,.. they love the chemicals put on it that are addictive in the first place,.. anyways once they are killed their corpses lay there and end up processed into the cigarettes. With all the other stuff put in,.. there isn't very much Tabacco in Cigarettes o.0 Were he to grow and dry real Tabacco, it wouldn't be as harmful,... and it would smell more pleasent. That's all those chemicals your smelling,.. I am sensitive to smells and taste,.. etc,.. I've found out over the years that people have ablitity and lack to taste and smell certain things... I think most people do not smell ALL the chemicals in Cigarettes... just one or a couple,.. so some people smell and taste none.. so your wasteing your breath lectureing him on something he might not know. Men do not have as broad a range/spectrum normally and some are unable to hear, see, smell, taste... or atleast distingush properly between one thing and another some sounds, colors, scents, and textures. Being men, they are fine with haveing this problem and never letting people know until the day they die of old age. Denile and Aggression towards you if you bring this up.

Get him to try that gum with nicotine in it so he isn't wanting the cigarettes. There's nicotine in both and that's what he's addicted to. And if that's not good, break up. And if that's not cool with you... umm.... good luck!

Break it off with him. Once a smoker, always a smoker. They say they're going to quit, but they never do. Find yourself a decent man who cares about your well being.

you can't convince someone to do something they aren't willing to do.......unless you don't mind that he's killing you and your daughter, you need to kick him to the curb and move on to someone who gives a damn
