Husband stopped smoking
 

He's been stopped two weeks now and I just wondered what sort of support can I give him.

I think I put my foot in it when he said he's not sleeping very well and waking up early I said it's probably the withdrawals of smoking. I don't want to throw it in his face with anything he says so just wondered the right way to help without being annoying.

Thankss for any tips

He will be a bit tetchy so just sort of skirt around him for a bit :) xxxxxx

Tell him how nice he smells.
:)

Good one :) xxx

If he seems to want to avoid places he enjoyed smoking or other smokers, I would support that. I only quit because of pregnancy but went back to smoking as soon as I weaned my baby. Then I became pregnant again and quit right away.

I might have taken it up again but I joined a small group of moms who wouldn't have accepted a smoker. New friends, new activities and time have made me a true non-smoker, and I haven't smoked in more than 24 years.

My friend quit a couple of years ago, and for her, the problem was her porch, where she normally smoked. She couldn't go out there without wanting a cigarette, so she had to stop going out there for a good six months.

Best of luck to you and your husband.

Just let him know you support his efforts. :hug:

Thanks, Kate, yes he is tetchy, we've had a few rows........
Olive, yes he smells better, no tobacco smell on his clothes...
Susan, I can relate to the porch .. I loved cookery programmes but haven't started watching them again yet due to all the booze they drink on them...
Least, thanks, I want to support him as much as poss without making a fuss and mentioning smoking unless he wants to talk about it,, which, he is a man of few words, so he doesn't say much.. Unless we argue.xx

Thanks, again for all your words, most helpful.xx:tyou
