Question: Anyone know where I can get some stories about YOUNG dying smokers!?
I quit smoking for good a little over a year ago!. My husband however, will not quit!. I have not sat down with him and really discussed, actually short of complaining about the amount he smokes is about all I've done!. I have not started to really ask him to quit yet!. I don't allow smoking around my children, not even when I myself was a smoker, so he is also cutting out on valuable family time going out for a smoke!. He did not start until he was 22, he is now 28!. I think it is more habit, but he is getting excessive with his smoking!. 1 pack and half a day is what he says he smokes!. It may be more!. I'm sick of it because we have 2 small children (2 and 5 months) that NEED him!. I've heard lots of stories lately about people under 40 dying from cancer caused by tobacco!. I figured if I could find some that would really hit home, this will help!. He acknowledges that he needs to quit, and would like to try to, but he just needs motivation!. He loves our children dearly, so I think if he saw some photos, or read stories about young Mom's/Dad's dying from lung cancer, it would be his motivation!.
Please no replies about "Why are you pushing him, it's his choice, you can't make him quit" etc!. I know my husband, and I know him well enough to know what works, and what won't!. Not trying to be rude, but I'm not asking for opinions here!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since people are affected at differing individual rates, the scare tactics against a person addicted aren't such a strong motivator!. Look around you at people living with the nicotine compulsion!. They suffer when they don't smoke- it is physical and mental, and though smoking is expensive and many restrictions are made against it, the craving keeps the person smoking!. Nicotine addiction, unfortunately, kills slowly!.
Do you think pain will work!? If the pain is stronger than the craving, a smoker may still not be motivated to quit!. There are people with emphasema and bronchitis and pneumonia who can hardly breathe anyway who just cannot want to quit smoking, the craving gets so strong!.
People who quit smoking, must go through a period of abstinance and support to not smoke, including keeping them away from ideas and events associated with their addiction until they build up enough motivation to refuse to be mastered by nicotine anymore!. They do suffer withdrawal- physical and mental withdrawal!. Some may even feel the dilusional urge to commit suicide while suffering the withdrawal to make the craving stop!. After that, passes their recovery is safer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
