I quit smoking in 1981. I got to thinking back then how much money I was burning then and if I continued to do so, how much more money would I burn if i continued to smoke cigarettes. My dad continued to smoke until he was about 55 and quit cold turkey, mom's migraine headaches disappeared as well. I continue to wonder why people think smoking is good/cool or fun. Ever since I quit smoking, (and the wife doesn't do tobacco either), I/we notice/despise being near a smoker. I know it is and will be a continuing battle for you to get him quit, he must see the light that it just isn't right to continue. However, smokers think it is their devine to right to do so, this could go on and on, best of luck in getting him to quit lighting up, hope you can get him to see the light.

My way to stop smoking was the following :

- reason to stop : all the nagging around me about smoking
- i decided to break my personal record and then stop
- my goal was to smoke two bags of tobacco per day

- one rolled cigarette lasts about 15 minutes
- i can roll between 25 and 30 cigarettes from one bag
- that meant i had to smoke between 750 and 900 minutes per day

It took me about 3 months to get to smoke that much cigarettes. In that times smoking
turned into an obsession, while i was smoking one cigarette i was already rolling the next one.
I watched myself smoking and rolling with humor. How in the world was i going to succeed ?
One day I reached my target and with a smile i stopped that moment !
In the following few months i occasionally accepted a cigar from one of friends to keep him company
and then one day i decided not to smoke anymore, not even occasionally. That all happened 6 years ago.
I can still accept other people smoking in my area, sometimes i enjoy and sometimes the smell
bothers me, but i am not complaining.

As for your husband, please let him decide for himself

Recommend he gets a health check and as a part of that process, have him take a CT 64 slice scan of his heart, not overly expensive - the resulting pictures will make anyone stop, seriously.

I remember when my daughter was about 3 she came up to me, put her arms around me (as best she could) and said "I love you very much daddy" When my wife came home from work that day she gave me her usual hug and "Love you" but that day I felt different. It was what is suppose some folks call and epiphany.


Haven't touched a ciggie since. 3 years. Cold turkey too.

Hi their guys.., I'm just a very newly registered on this site, and as I read this site I really impress about people who are very much willing to quit from smoking, not just for their self but also for their family. How many times did I try to talk to my husband and please him to sttop from smoking 'cause me and my dayghter already got a hard coughf because of the smoke that we take from his being a smoker. And then he promise me me to quit from it, but then that promise will only take just A few ours, then after tat his back in smoking again. Please advise or give me some important tips in how I can make him quuit from smoking. Thank you.

Hi Delia,

Getting a loved one to quit is quite a challenge. The more you complain the more it will seem like you are nagging him. This will only irritate him. You need a more indirect strategy.

I'm assuming he smokes indoors at home? an/or maybe in the car. First step, ask him calmly and politely but firmly to stop smoking indoors at home and in the car. If he wants to smoke he can go outside. Please let me know how he reacts to your request.

Some background information would also be helpful. How old you both are and your daughter, how long has your husband been smoking and how many cigarretes he smokes per day. Does he have any hobbies or other interests that are important to him.

Do you think I will go outside my own house to smoke? Come on! Why don't the wife go outside the house if she don't like it? Or move somewhere else?

I like to smoke, because I want to die before I am 65. That saves my Government of paying me any pension money, and my wife will get her widow-pension at an earlier time.

If she don't like me smoking, I give her a divorce. If you want children, find a man who don't smoke if you don't like it. Don't complain afterwards.

No it will not, whatever it shows. Not everybody wants to get old. I am 53, and that is more than enough for me.

You sound like such a kind, considerate person bellste and not at all bitter either.

You sound like the kind of person that only cares for me, me, me, I also see you flicking you toxic butts where children, wildlife and waterways can ingest them become ill or die and contaminate our waterways, It is people like this that need to have their wish come true sooner then later, have another cigarette (coffin nail) I guess you missed the boat when it is said to respect self and others and have responsibility for all of our actions, check out the mirror, do you really like you? It is never to late to change, If you want to, Chok Dee
