A smoking husband is characterized by constant bad breath, from hands, from clothes. If there is a child in the house, the smell of tobacco has a harmful effect on his health. And over the years, smoking men acquire a whole bunch of diseases characteristic of a smoker. A loving woman should try not only to get him to quit smoking, but also help him in this.
Instructions
Step 1
Build your husband's desire to quit smoking. Tell him that you are repelled by the smell of smoky things, the smell from the mouth of a smoker. Explain to him that his bad habit has a negative impact not only on his health, but also on yours, as well as on the health of children. Remind him that he is an example for his children who will smoke in the future. And be sure to promise to support him in his fight against nicotine addiction.
Step 2
Don't just act directly. Ask your husband's friends, parents, sisters and brothers, and your parents to convince your spouse to quit smoking. They will definitely support you and try to do their part to improve your husband's health. In addition, the advice of a friend or relative may be more effective than your efforts and persuasion. Ask your friends and family not to smoke anymore in the presence of your husband.
Step 3
There should be no threats, legends, or nagging in your actions. This can lead to a completely different result - to enmity between you. Try to strengthen his belief that he can quit tobacco cravings. Nicotine addiction is strong both physically and psychologically. The process of quitting smoking is painful and difficult. Constantly motivate him, support, help.
Step 4
If possible, invite him to do something together that is incompatible with smoking. Run in the morning, ride a bike, swim, play tennis. Encourage him if he can survive without a cigarette for a long time. If he breaks down and lights up, do not criticize or enter into open conflict. Try not to emphasize this, but to motivate him to continue trying to quit smoking.
Step 5
In the first days and weeks after quitting smoking, your husband will need your support more than ever. Not only moral, but also material. Take on some of his housekeeping responsibilities. Be aware of his irritable mood. Give up some of your unnecessary habits yourself. By doing this, you will show him that you also want to change for the better with him. After a week and after a month of abstaining from smoking, give your husband a gift, arrange a holiday, go with him to a cafe or restaurant.
