Quitting smoking...?

Question

Have you found any effective (successful) ways to approach a smoker about quitting? What were they? My husband has been smoking for about 20 yrs now and I've always wanted him to quit. He says that he doesn't really like to smoke and tells me that he wants to quit, but other than switching to 'light' cigarettes hasn't done anything else. (And I've heard that light cigs are just as bad in the long run because you inhale harder/longer.) I thought after recently having a baby along with the fact that money has gotten incredibly tight, I thought that he might at least cut back for his daughter or because then he'd have more money to play with...... I know it's an addiction.
Any ideas? (Other than sounding like a bitchy nag?)

Answer 1

There are no ways of getting someone to quit smoking or drinking alcohol excessively. One has to make that decision for themselves.
