We can’t do anything to him to stop smoking unless he try hard! We can suggest him advice him thats all.

U ask him to promise himself for stop smoking. may he could feel shy when he starts smoke.

Perhaps a search for “quit smoking” + “natural ways” might be of interest.

There are lots of things he can try. He needs to realize that not only does he need to make it through his physical addiction, he also needs to make behavioral changes as well. He can wear the patch - be sure to take it off before going to bed - to avoid crazy dreams. Gum and lozenges also are very helpful. It’s also possible that his doctor can prescribed him bupropion or chantix. He should learn what triggers him to smoke and modify those behaviors - go for a walk, play a video game, whatever it takes to get his mind off of the craving because it only lasts as long as it takes to smoke a cigarette.

Damita, I have been smoking since I was 12 years old and despite how my wife pleaded and begged I would not stop. Today I saw a video; and effects of smoking video that made me cry. I am actually crying as I write this answer because I now see what the devastating effects of smoking are. I always read it but seeing what it does to family is just horrible. Anyway Damita best of luck and remember to show him this video, bookmark it and tell him to watch it again if he feels the urge to pick up another cigarette:

Hello Damita,

My wife smoked for over 10 years and when she found out that she was pregnant with our now newborn 3 months old daughter, she had promised me that if I found a good solution for quitting, she will try her best to kick the habit.

Well in my spare time I started researching online for quit smoking programs, meanwhile she was trying out patches and gums that you can buy at grocery stores and adventually they would not work for her.

After about a week of researching I had stumbled over a website that really impressed me on what they had to offer and that they actually say that they can almost guarantee your success, and most importantly that you can try it out for free.

The company has been around for over 20 years now and they have helped over a million smokers quit since and their kit has everything that you possibly need to help you quit smoking, I thought WoW that is impressive.

I went ahead and ordered the free trial for my wife (only paid for shipping) and she has quit smoking in just two weeks and she doesn’t want to hear about or smell another cigarette again in her life
Now it is up to you, but since my wife has quit, I was so happy about her success, so much so that I had built a small review site of the product to also help other people quit, you can check it out at; if you want to find out more.

P.S. Also available for Canada.

Thanks for reading my short story, I hope it helps, good luck and stay healthy.
