A woman with a cigarette can only look attractive in staged black and white photos in a retro style. In the overwhelming majority of cases, such a picture is hardly capable of evoking positive emotions, especially when it comes to the spouse. Getting a wife to quit smoking is difficult, but doable.
Necessary
- - shocking photos;
- - present.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to influence your spouse's emotions. Most women are quite impressionable and receptive, so you should constantly pick up unpleasant and shocking information related to smoking for her. For example, show pictures of lung cancer, report smoking deaths.
Step 2
Talk to your wife periodically. You should not swear and issue ultimatums: conversations should be conducted in a calm tone. Give her a systematic argument for quitting smoking. Demonstrate concern for her health.
Step 3
Hurt your wife's pride. For example, mention in passing that her nonsmoking friend looks younger. Or mark the whiteness of the teeth in childhood photographs of your wife, of which now there is no trace left. Perhaps such things will be very offensive for a woman. However, they can be enough push for her to quit smoking.
Step 4
If you already have children, focus on their health. Provide data on how much harmful substances are absorbed by passive smokers. If you are just planning to have a baby, the task is simplified. The harm of nicotine to the fetus can be exaggerated. Pregnancy and subsequent breastfeeding should be the main argument for quitting cigarettes.
Step 5
Offer your spouse a worthy gift if she quits smoking and lasts for a certain (long) period. It can be an expensive piece of jewelry, a series of exclusive salon treatments, or an exotic journey. Such a "prize" will surely add willpower to your wife.
Step 6
If you do not have sufficient authority in the eyes of your wife, try to influence her through other people. For example, talk to her doctor or beautician. Such a "conspiracy" does not at all contradict ethics: any specialist with a medical education should support such an initiative.
