My husband has smoked for years...35 to be exact. We have been married for 30 years. He is slim, but not very healthy, I think. He almost quit just recently and I was so proud of him and told everyone that I was. He was down to about one cigarette a day. I feel like garbage when he smokes because he does it in the house, car, whatever. It makes me feel like a smoker myself. I feel that if I wanted to smoke, I would have kept it up in college, so you see, I know what it is like to be a smoker, but not what it's like to be a non-smoker, even though I don't smoke. I am sorry this sounds bitter. I am mad. Tell me what to do. I am ready to move out. We have a great marriage, but I don't want to feel crappy anymore because of someone else's vice. He refuses to go outside to smoke.

Well i'm not sure you can make him quit (but you certianly can give him a hefty shove into doing it ;) )
Does your husband know that Second Hand Smoke kills? And by keeping this habit he may eventually kill you, if he doesn't get cancer himself? Have you told him how crappy it makes you feel when he smokes around you? Once agian with the second hand...
If you choose to have children (though if you've been married for 35 years most likely your children are grown up and moved out) you risk SIDS( sudden infant deaths)
Try telling him you don't feel comfortable inviting guests over to the house because of the smell and the fact he has a disgusting habit.
How difficult is it for him to step outside when he needs a smoke? or Open a window? When your in the car get him to crack a window so he flicks ashes out there and the smoke goes out there so you aren't stuck with it in the car.
Also, try this site : http://www.philipmorrisusa.com/en/quitassist/steps/getready.asp
to see if it provides any usful information/facts that could help him stop smoking.
Hope i helped.
