How Can I Get My Boyfriend To Stop Smoking?

His quitting smoking has no correlation to love for you.

Have him visit a hypnotist.  It worked for me, but he has to really want to quit for it to work.

I love my son more than anybody ever! I couldn't quit for him. A person has to have a tremendous desire to quit for themselves or it will not work. He needs to evaluate the habit, and have a sincere desire to quit. Even then it is very difficult. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin. He may not do it the first time around, but if he really, really wants to and considers himself to be a strong person, he will eventually quit. Pray for him Darling, and Give him a lot of Space if he decides to do this. Any unnecessary stress may just sabotage his efforts. I will pray too, I am also trying to quit.

It is very innovative and good and intellectual to be concerned about your boyfriend's health and his smoking habit.
It must be hard to quit smoking. I do not smoke, neither does anyone in my family but I have studied human psychology as part of my english olevel classes. In this section we had a topic on smoking. Of course, it is hard to make somebody quit smoking but not impossible. You can tell him the dangerous effects of smoking. You must have done that before but try try again. You can tell him for once and for all that you completely detest this habit and if this continues you will stop dating him. (don't mean it, just say it, if he really loves you which he must after your relationship of two years he will stop).

Try to reason with him. Tell him that smoking and nicotine damage his inside. Here are the problems he will have to go through:-

1. His living period will decrease by 9 to 12 years


2. He will have complications in reproducing


3. His smoking does not only harm him but also others around him


4. Lung Cancer, Heart Failure and Asthama will be common problems he will have to face.


5. You know how much nonquality items are sold in our society, cigarettes are contaminated with radioactive materials which react with hydrogen in the body and the first consequence is DEATH

Many people adopt smoking in their teens. The basic reasons for their development of bad habits are

1. The way companies advertise these harmful products, the people in these commercial are hip hop, cool and sophisticated.


2. Studies have shown that many people smoke because their friends do.

You can try the following regimes as well

1. Ask his family to support you in your intentions


2. Ask his friends to ask him to quit it


3. Stress the value of his life.


4. Organize a campaign on a school or local level against smoking

This is all I could think of know i will update as soon as possible!!

Okay. I noe how you feel. My boyfriend smokes too. But him smoking has nothing to do with him loving you its something that he started doing before you and it is just hard for him to stop. Its something that helps him deal with things. STRESS. He will quit one day just noe that its not a sign of him not loving you.

One should have an extremely serious motivation in order to quit smoking. Telling him that it's time to quit and that you hate when he smokes won't help. If he is a heavy (long time) smoker than the chances are that only a serious quit smoking program will help. My sister for example managed to overcome her smoking addiction with the help of a hypnotherapists. But as people have already commented on this questions, your desire to quit and start a new way of life in a more healthy and positive manner is necessary.

Knowing how to quit smoking is crucial these days. There are so many programs and resources but only a few talk about the real motivational issues that people have to search for, experiment and implement for it to have effect.

I believe that humans are stronger than they believe they are. However, in order to have success, it is required for you to work hard. After all, it is just a matter of time till you gain the desired results.

In conclusion, what can I say - make your boyfriend keep practicing and working on his mental and motivational strength.

For God's sake!! Tell him SMOKING KILLS!
