ok this might seem a little mean and she’ll probably get pissed off but snatch them out of her mouth
(don’t hit her im not saying that) just ya know be the man grab your nuts and tell her “your not smoking anymore I love you too much”. or something like that.
She is going to do what she wants.tell her what smoking does to her.her teeth will turn black.you really cant make someone stop smoking .she needs to stop on her own.I tried to make my mom stop smoking but it didn’t work .
·The cravings for nicotine parallels the cravings for Heroin, it is that strong. The tobacco companies now put put a chemical in cigarettes to help extinguish when not puffed on , thus making cigarettes more dangerous than ever. The result is making it harder to quit and you are basically giving your hard earned money to them. With the Alternative Smoking Device I will never go back.
I gave up trying to quit, after forty year of smoking and 2 weeks of trying an Alternative Smoking Device,
I liked the product so much I became a distributor for it.
I still get my High Nicotine but in a safer fashion and at less than half the cost.
I devoted one page on my website for a short discription of the product. A link on that page will tell you more if you need it.

As an ex smoker who married a non smoker I will give you some advice.
First just let her know you wish she would quit, it’s bad for her, you and whoever else she smokes around.
Second if she chooses to smoke a rule must be in place that she smokes outside. (if she doesn’t already go out now)
Third she is going to have to want to quit.
Fourth NO pressure! NO ultimatums!
The worst thing you can do is force her into quitting and nagging her to quit. Let her know you would love for her to quit and when she is ready you will do whatever it takes to help her thru it.
When someone keeps harping/nagging about quitting it just makes the smoker want to smoke even more.
I like Jay Jay’s answer, but she will sneak the smokes with a nice bribe. just tell her that you will quit kissing her ashtray tasting mouth. You did marry her knowing that she smokes. Get a compromise and tell her you don’t want her to die. Take her to a hospital where she can see people with oxygen tanks. Offer to get her the patch or nicorette gum so she can wean off. Good luck and hope this helps you both.
Quit buying her smokes. My wife smoked before we got together and after we got married she quit cause I would no longer buy them for her and since I didn’t let her out of the house unsupervised she was unable to get them.
sadly you can’t make anyone do anything they do not want to, she needs to realize it is damaging to her health. but you could do something make a decision and let her know how you feel, and that you want her to grow old with you. if she doesn’t understand this, than it is your choice weather you want to be with a smoker or not. remember second hand smoke is worst than actually smoking it. if she does truly love she will not want you to get sick right? maybe this will make her realize=ze it is not only her health that is injeopardyy.Good luck!!!
well if cancer is ur worry, then u have to make her stop breathing,eating ,going out in the sun and move out of the city, think of it like this, most people will never reach the age they say we can, into todays time the odds are way against it, even if u do what do u get a couple of yrs extra to be in a nursing home, if she enjoys it let her smoke
it’s not easy! I smoked since I was 18 and am almost 25…I just quit 3 days ago. (and no, I’m not one of those people that quits and starts again, the only time I ever quit was when I was pregnant and did it out of necessity, not really by choice). My doctor prescribed WellButrin for me…one of the side effects of it is people just quit smoking. And I have not killed anyone yet!….but it is tough.
One of the reasons she may not want to quit is because when you do you get extremely moody and mean for a few days from the lack of nicotine.
Sorry but it something a smoker has to do when and how and if they want to. Even if they want to, it is one hard road as it is an addiction to not only nicotine but a comfortable emotional habit and even a way to reduce stress- no matter that the experts claim it increases stress.
I never smoked in my gorgeous home but smoked outside even at 10°. I only smoked in my nice vehicle with the windows down and the electric roof open.
I quit when my beloved mother got lung cancer. She had quit years before. When the cancer returned 12 years later, I was devastated. What did I do? Go out have a good cry and ONE smoke. I hid it from her I was so disgusted at myself. She knew though. I promised her I would quit for good before she passed away. In my grief though, that smoke was the only bright spot of my day for months and months, a very long time. I hated myself for not quiting for her. Then I quit. Then I started again. Then I quit. On and on it went. At present I am quit but I take it a day or a month at a time. Stress is my trigger.
All you can do is if your wife does decide to quit on her own, be 1000% supportive of it/ her in every way. I realize I typed an extra zero. I can’t stress enough that if she decides to, you have to take your response ques from her. Don’t nag. Some want to count the days they have been nicotine free, some don’t even want you to mention the word smoke. You may want to scream how proud you are of her way too soon. Don’t. That just makes her feel like a total failure if she slips. It is sufficient to say something like- hey, it was a good day, on to tomorrow. If you know and love her you will sense what she needs from you if she decides to quit. If she tries one way to quit and it fails, support her and let her decide when and how to try another. No two people smoke the same amount or for the same reasons so no one can predict which way is best. Some like to boast cold turkey. There is nothing worse for a person that is trying to quit than to be around someone that has and can’t shut up about it or tells them how EASY it was. Stopping smoking can make one very cranky, nervous. Make sure you know what you are asking her to do. For those that have never smoked, I explain it like this. Imagine you were thirsty and couldn’t get a drink of water or anything to quench your thirst. After an hour you are really thirsty. After a few you are getting a headache and feeling nasty. You are going to have to stay in that state for WEEKS with nothing to quench that thirst. Even months later you are still thirsty. Years later you learn to ignore the thirst for the most part. Then you find yourself so thirsty you think you are going to die when you see everyone else around you drinking huge glasses of ice water. You can even smell the lemon slice in the water on them when they are not drinking and you want water. One day you step out and realize it is 100° and you think- I’ll just have a sip of that water, just a sip to take the edge off this thirst. Before you know it you have gone through that whole glass/ bottle and are even more thirsty so you get another one, then another. That is what it is like to quit smoking. It’s the hardest physical thing I have ever had to do in my life. Hope this helps you to understand when she decides it is time.
I quit six months ago after smoking 2 or more packs a day for thirty years. Nobody could have convinced me to quit and who knows what a price I will pay. Tell her that you love her and ask her if she will at least listen to what smoking does to you and the horror and pain of dieing from it. Ask her what she would want to quit
Buy her a sports car..and tell her she can’t have the keys untils she quits.
She won’t unless she wants to, try showing her good reasons to quit and be there for her to help.
ok this might seem a little mean and she’ll probably get pissed off but snatch them out of her mouth
(don’t hit her im not saying that) just ya know be the man grab your nuts and tell her “your not smoking anymore I love you too much”. or something like that.
She won’t quit unless she wants to unfortunately.
dont make he smoke outside
get her on Chantix. may lead to suicide but at least she won’t be smoking
She is going to do what she wants.tell her what smoking does to her.her teeth will turn black.you really cant make someone stop smoking .she needs to stop on her own.I tried to make my mom stop smoking but it didn’t work .
You can’t make her stop. the only thing you can do is explain to her your concerns and be supportive if she tries to stop.

There are no ways to get her to quit.
