4 Ways to help your partner quit smoking

You can play a very important role in helping him your spouse or partner who has decided to quit smoking. Remember that kicking the habit will benefit everyone because of the harmful effects of second hand smoke.

Join your partner.
Your chances for quitting can increase as you get instant support from someone close to you. Even if you are not a smoker, there surely must be an area in your life on which you have been meaning to work. It could be losing weight, abandoning alcohol or exercising more. Whatever it may be, start helping your partner quit smoking by setting goals for yourself as well.

Keep him away from triggers and triggers away from him.
Try to make plans that do not revolve around friends who smoke or places where everyone is happily puffing away – some people or situations can be triggers for wanting to smoke again. Remove ashtrays and other stuff from around the house which can serve as constant reminders of the bad habit.

Get Busy.
Find you both a hobby. Learn ballroom dancing together or enroll in a cooking class. It may help you get his mind off smoking and in to some other creative outlet.
