stop smoking

I need help on how to go about helping my bf to stop smoking. He really wants to and I really want him to. We just don't know how to go about getting him to stop. Almost all of his friends and family smoke so it's really hard for him to stop. If anyone has any advice that would be great. Thanks.

I suggest checking out Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) at EmoFree.com. Gary Craig provides a free basic manual. Or check out Carol Look who sells a book titled "Quit Smoking Now with Energy Therapy" at CarolLook.com.

These techniques require time and effort on your part and your bf's part to learn and persistence in applying the techniques. The success rate is fairly high but not 100%.

My parents have been smoking for years. I have asthma and I have a 3 year old little brother. My parents try not to smoke around us and used to smoke out of our chimney in the winter. But now we just moved into a new house, and there is no fireplace so they just smoke in the house. They Can't afford to use those quit smoking programs and buying cigarettes 3 times a day doesn't help. They are truly amazing people, but smoking isn't really making a good influence on others esapecially my brother and I. How can I get them to stop smoking?

When I was kid I used to throw my parents cigarettes down the toilet. They both ended up quitting. :D True story.

My friend started smoking when he was 14 last year.This year he managed to stop smoking for over a month or so.He started to pick up the habit of smoking again earlier this month.What should he do to make him stop smoking? Help please? Thanks !

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

When I started dating my boyfriend I didn't know he smoked weed. He tried to get me to smoke with him but it's just not for me. I've asked him to stop smoking but that only made him go behind my back. He's kind of got better but everytime his sister wants to smoke he does. I don't know how to get him to stop and I know the only way he will stop is to want to stop himself.

For most, if they don't get involved with other drugs before they quit causing more serious addictions etc, just "grow out" of smoking weed.
I found this to be the case with myself, as a young teenager, I would smoke daily, the older I became, the less interesting it was. By the time I hit 19 it was boring, and even irritating to be "high" so I gave it up, and never looked back.
You can't really change anyone or Force their behavior. I personally believe No one will quit doing anything that they do "smoking, cursing, etc" unless they Personally Want to quit. Standard rehab shows this from the fact that 80% or more usually relapse within 1 month of release.
I also quit smoking because I got tired of that as well, and didn't want to die of cancer. No drugs, no therapy, cold turkey.
Only thing you can do, is try to set limits like the one above mentioned (which he will probably either break or it will make him avoid being with you to get high), you can try to just cope with it, or you can try to find things he enjoys doing MORE than smoking weed, be it driving, skateboarding etc. Most weed smokers are usually bored, and become lethargic etc after smoking. Find outdoor physical activities you both enjoy, and try to do more of them together.
Last note, if he gets on "harder" drugs, hit the road. Most harder drugs lead to stealing and radical personality changes that you will do well to avoid,, trust me on that one.

I am almost 7 months pregnant, and I have tried many times to stop smoking. I am attempting once more. I get alot of pressure from my fiancee who also smokes. Also, he seems unwilling to even try to support me through this. My "friends" still light up right in fromt of me, to the fact where I have to leave the room just to not be around the smoke. Isit even possible to quit with all this going on? Any suggestions?

My husband went to a hypnotist. It actually worked.
