re: What say the OT? How can I help my wife stop smoking?

Zyban.

It is a prescription smoking cessation medication. It has the same active ingredient as Welbutrin which will also help her irritability and her food cravings.

Even though you did not mention it, I know she has had or fears a weight problem and is often irritable.

Zyban is your friend here.

I agree the stress line is complete bullshite, I probably have 10 times the "stress" in my life and I don't smoke.. Time to lay down a line..


Do yall have kids?? If so make sure she knows how hard it is for a kid to bury a parent..

You should guilt her into quitting. How many times do women guilt us men to do their shite for them? Be like, "Baby, do you not love me? It seems like you love cigs more than me since cigs will kill you eventually and diminish your health. Do you hate me that much that you are trying to kill your body and leave this world before me?"

Smack her in the mouth every time she lights up

Let her be dammit

I can think of something that I would put in my wifes mouth if she were bringing a cancer stick up to it.............

Don't stick around? We're married.

Depends on if you have kids. If you don't have them yet tell her you don't want any until you know they are not going to be exposed to a smoke filled environment.

It's an oral fixation. Figure out something else to wrap her lips around whenever she wants to smoke. Hope this helps both of you

Nothing will help an inconsiderate and selfish person from smoking. No threats, assistance, or bribe will entice them to quit. Sorry for your scenarios and eventual loss of your wife to her selfish habit.
