What a great question.  Here are a few good ideas on how to get a husband to stop smoking cigarettes, not stating the obvious:

• Tell him his breath stinks.  Because it does.
• Stop cleaning out the ash trays.
• Help him find activities that encourage physical activity, like taking a family bike ride together.
• Go to the doctor with him and discuss aids he might be able to use to help him quit.
• Give him as much support as you can while his attitude ‘adjusts’ to becoming a non-smoker as he goes through withdrawal!

   You can't. He has to want to do it.

   Any attempt will only cause him to smoke more. I suggest you make him smoke outside and leave it at that.

   No one can change another person.

   You might motivate him by offering rewards for not smoking.

   You don't. It's something he has to want to do on his own. When he is ready, the only thing you can do is give him support. Smoking isn't only a physical addiction, but it's also a mental addiction.

    There is no way you can make someone stop smoking all you would do would be annoy him if you are constantly trying to get him to quit

    Thats a tough one to break, but you should talk to him about your concerns and offer to help and support him through it if he agrees with about breaking the habit. He has to want it just as bad you do to make it really work though!
