My boyfriend?s smoking habits

Smoking can be a real drag (pun intended), especially if someone you care about isn?t ready to quit. Since you haven?t brought the subject up to your boyfriend yet, you don't know how he will react ? so your first step may be to talk with him. Your concerns may be the final push he needs to help him quit! However, you may want to prepare yourself that he may choose to continue smoking. If this occurs, then you both might want to reevaluate the relationship (including if the smoking is a true deal breaker). In addition to simply encouraging your boyfriend to give up smoking, if he chooses to quit you can offer him lots of resources and support to help him through this difficult process. The American Cancer Society?s Guide to Quitting Smoking [2] and smokefree.gov [3] are helpful resources with comprehensive step-bystep instructions on how to quit.
