Smoking

Dazed&Confused asked:


I’m currently dating a guy who has quit smoking before (not sure how he quit the first time) but, lately he’s been away in another state training in another state for a new job. Some people he works with and hangs out with there smokes. He called me one day to say that since he’s been around other smokers, he’s given in again to smoking….I’ve never smoked, so I don’t know how difficult it is to stop. When I try to approach him about how much it bothers me, he gets a little irritated, and says that I “don’t understand how hard it is to quit” and that he’s trying to quit….how can I help him or make suggestions to him to quit smoking for good? being around smoke makes me cough a lot anyway….I don’t want to date a man who smokes, but he’s such a sweetie and I think I’ve fallen for him. Should I just give him time to prove that he’s trying to quit, and cut him slack? HELP!
