How can my husband finally stop smoking??

Question

Hi,

my husband is a really heavy smoker. Not only myself but also our kids are suffering from the offensive smell. Not to mention the health threat we are exposed to all day. So far he could'nt give it up! He tried out several methods but didn't succeed. Are there any new methods who can help quit smoking? Thanks a million!!!

Answer 1

Tie his hands behind his back.....just being silly. First, he must really want to quit or nothing is going to work. Cigarette smoking is as addictive as heroin for some people, others smoke but can stop at will.

Chantix is the latest stop smoking aid, but it does have some side effects that rule it out for some smokers. Your husband should talk with his dr. about this medication, it`s worth a try.

Answer 2

Hi - there are plenty of stop smoking aids available but your husband must sincerely want to quit. Otherwise even if he does stop he might start up again after several weeks or months.

I prefer the natural ways of quitting like herbal remedies, but laser treatment and hypnotism can work also. I don't think your husband would do well on something like nicotine gum.

The website below has a lot of good info' on ways to quit smoking...

Hope this helps

Answer 3

There are several prescriptions available through the doctor that he could get to help him quit.  He could see his doctor and ask about it.  The doctor may also know other ways to help him quit.  Bottom line though: he has to REALLY want to quit.  

Answer 4

beat him senselessly  

Answer 5

chanix is suppose to work, mentally, it takes away the pleasure in smoking, so you are not intended to quit right away,  you keep smoking and eventually you won't be smoking, gradually , because there is no more pleasure in smoking

Answer 6

Smoking is more of a psychological addiction than a physical one. If you husband really wants to quit then he must discover the reasons why he smokes and then eliminate or change these thought processes. As soon as I dealt with my psychological reasons for smoking I quit, first time and more importantly for good.

Once he deals with the psychological side of smoking it will make the quitting process easy, no matter his level of addiction.

Answer 8

He needs to become stronger than the cigarette. The problem with most smokers is not that they're addicted (which blames the cigarette) but that they do not have the willpower to quit.

Answer 9

no s*x for him

Answer 10

Huh, is he smoking indoor? If his smoke is polluting the air your kids breathe, then just kick his ***! Take your kids to the doctor and let him examine, how much their bodies are already poisoned. Very often these parameters are equivalent to the case of active nicotine consumption. Then take the doc´s report in WRITTEN form and present it to your husband. Kick his *** again! Maybe the idea of his kids in fact smoking a couple of cigarettes everyday can change his mind! Take him to the page below and make him use the ressources he´ll find there.

Answer 11

I quit cold turkey and the doctor eventually put me on lexapro to quell my outbursts of uncontrollable RAGE.

I heard Chantix is good though.
