can any one advise the trics to stop my husband from smoking?

Answer 1

1) tell him to get different cigarettes everytime he decided to buy one... the different blend and taste will get his taste buds off and therefore slowing his craving for cigarettes... (plus, if you are ought to purchase it for him, get him the other or worst brands)

2) put a child or baby next to him whenever he lights up... conscience will overcome...

Answer 2

It is a cinch that "You trying" wont work. It has to be of his own will. I am speaking out of experience. Used to smoke like a chimney (this is an understatement) and any sort of external inducements failed-even those that were decided by me. Like some vrat, so refrain from smoking etc. But one fine day, I just decided I have abused my system with ciggies long enough and enough is enough. (it came from within, no outside factors) and lo! just stopped. And it is about 3 years since I smoked (I still have a cigarette left of the last pack at home as a memoir). Parallely being involved in some spiritual pursuits may help overcome the withdrawal symptoms (atleast it worked for me). But then to all the ex-smokers I keep reminding (at the risk of sounding an alarmist), once a smoker - the problem is you can never say you kicked the habit for good. You are just 1 cigarette away from abstinence to chain smoker. So finding factors to resist that 1 cigarette is the key to stay away from smoking for life.

And yes! wish you hubby the very best. Even the direct and tangible economics (money saved on ciggies) is a motivation enough apart from intangible gains like better health (this is prudent economics too), health not only theirs but also people around you, manhours saved etc etc.

Answer 3

I have been a smoker for 38 years and an X Smoker for 17 days.
I am taking the prescription drug Chantix and it really does work. I was a pack and a halfer a day and now I am a zero packer. I did not go through the nic fits but I had to break the time I smoked habit drivng, talking on my cell, during coffee breaks, after dinner etc... My husband has also quit for the last 14 days and he also is taking the meds, he was a triple packer per day for the last 40 years. The stuff is great check it out.

Answer 4

Tricks, there are no tricks. You will be the one who is the brunt of the trick if you try. He must want to stop, for him to stop. And, for him to stop he will need to want to stop. Does he want to stop, if not lighten up. But if you persist and want to make an impact you may want to get the word out, usually others outside the family can make more of an impact. Find and deliver a copy of a story of what happened to another pesons who smoked. Purchase a vacation, to a place where there is no tobacco, make it for a week...he will be withdrawn by the time you return home. Be corageous, smoking is hard, and you will need to practice tough love. I just don't know how serious, and bad this situation is, if it is really bad you will really need to fortify yourself.

Answer 5

You cannot make your husband stop smoking. He's got to want to stop for himself. Of course, you can remind him that secondhand smoke raises your risk for breast cancer and lung cancer tremendously. And, it raises the chance that your children (if you have them) will have allergies and asthma. Oh, then that's that little problem with his health.

He's got to want to stop himself first. If you have that, then just encourage him. Don't go to places where you know people will be smoking. It will just drive him nuts. If he cannot take the withdrawals, then buy some patches or gum. I just quit. It's possible. But it's rought. Good luck.

Answer 6

well i've got an idea!!!!!
{if ur husband really loves u}
as soon as he starts smoking start coughing and all. a bit of acting u know. if he'd notice that everytime he smokes its hampering u. tell him that the people surrounding him are also affected.
tell him to give it up slowly rather than suddenly. well if u have got a kid u could take his help too.

Answer 7

Visit the nearest alcoholics anonymous gathering near your residence, talk to the counsellors and they should guide you better in getting your husband rid of the smoking habit.

Answer 8

Unfortunately there are no tricks. He has to want to do it for himself. Let him know that you will support him when he does try though, I remember when I quit it felt like I went to hell and back and just having someone there for me to go for a walk with or distract me from thinking about having one absolutely saved me.

Understand that this would be a massive adjustment for him if he does quit.

He obviously knows you don't like him smoking but let him know you are worried for his health also.

Answer 9

I don't know how well it will work, but if you have children point out to him that he should consider the possibility of his not being around to see them grow up. I have been a smoker for over forty years, and I want badly to quit. It is not easy, but I am going to really try.

Answer 10

I understand your concern but YOU CANNOT trick your husband to leave smoking.

Rather make him aware of the consequence of smoking (people generally are careless about themselves but when it comes to people they love- they will sacrifice anything.)

You can tell him how much you and your children love him and how much it hurts you seeing him ruin his health. You have to live with the knowledge that he is going to die prematurely, I am sorry about scaring you, but this is true and try getting this message across).

Tell him how much you love him.
