Tell him you don't like it that he smokes and you're worried about his health and you don't think that he seems like a smoker. I mean, he told you he smokes so it's not like he's trying to hide it from you. You just have to keep on him about quitting and remind him why you don't like it. Good luck!

xcuriousx0 answered Sunday February 27 2005, 7:55 pm: hey even though he smokes and stuff the fact that he told you he does...that makes him a really good boyfriend...cuz hes like totally honest with you...thats great...but i have to be honest, even for adults its really really difficult to stop smoking. Its a really hard habit to break..so its gonna be twice as hard for him since he is younger. You said that in the mornings he doesnt smell like smoke?? Well sometimes guys drown out the smell with cologn...believe me they do...but i think that this whole smoking thing might bring you two closer together...its not a good thing that he smokes but you are learning more about eachother and you can try to help him out. I really hope everything works out...keep in touch...im me on xcuriousx0 if you ever need me. :)
mucho love

Michelley answered Sunday February 27 2005, 7:23 pm: Buy him the patch and the gum. Then tell him you love him and you're so scared bc smoking is bad and you really want him to quit. When he says its 'not really working' he might have like, just started trying to quit...and it takes time. Just tell him to ease off the ciggs gradually..bc its not gonna happen overnight or in a day

SAMzasis answered Sunday February 27 2005, 6:04 pm: Wait.... so... you couldn't smell it??? Wow.... Um... tell him to quit for you, and that once he puts another one in his mouth, it's over. Yea, that strict. I'm completely against smoking. It's stupid, it wastes your time, and it makes you dumb.
mylinhthan answered Sunday February 27 2005, 5:36 pm: anonymous -
Come to a compromise where when he's around you he won't smoke let alone SMELL like smoke. He said that he's trying to stop, so tell him that you fully support him on it. Just remember not to get frustrated if he doesn't completely give it up as soon as you had hoped, quitting smoking is incredibly difficult especially when they're going through withdrawal...during those times they tend to get VERY moody and cranky. Just be patient and support him. :) [ mylinhthan's advice column | Ask mylinhthan A Question ]
SakuraSong answered Sunday February 27 2005, 5:27 pm: erk! DO NOT threaten him with stuff like breaking up or else he might let you do it! Bad idea!!! My sister gave my dad a no smoking shirt and he stopped within a year be cause he saw that we cared about him. Do that. Not the shirt, but show him how much you care about him and is willin to HELP him. Saying that you'll ditch him in the middle of this will not do anything, in fact it will make him worse. Distraction from smoking is also a great idea. If he is busy enough in his life then he won't think about smoking that much. If not, give him gum. Lots of it.
