you know the more you bother someone about quiting the more they get mad like your boyfriend and the more they dont want to do it. He will quit when he is ready and if he really wants to. Im a smoker and i hate it when you hear all the preaching going on about smoking. ive quit before in my own terms. believe me its no easy task to do. but good luck to him and you as well cause you have to put up with it. I want to quit just have not picked a time to do it.Health Question & Answer
Talk to a pneumologist or a hospitalist so that you and your boyfriend could meet up with a smoker that ended up with emphysema or mouth cancer. I think people that get lung cancer are lucky because they die quickly. Emphysema on the other hand, it's quite a sight to see; imagine not being able to take in air, just breathing small puffs of air and not fully exhaling.
And mouth cancer, well; imagine getting half of your face removed, never able to talk or taste food ever again looking very much mutilated and at the end, you will still die quickly with the cancer shutting your airway closed because it's so aggressive.
Meeting someone that became a vegetable, paralyzed or blind after suffering from a major stroke thanks to a thrombotic effects of smoking might scare him.
If he's still willing to continue the habit after seeing people with those conditions; then maybe you're going to have to consider ending the relationship because the issue will always be a problem with you.Health Question & Answer
