I used to wonder this same thing - "How can I get my husband to quit smoking?" - but I realize now that the best thing I can do for him, is nothing. It does no good to preach, or even to talk directly to him about it - it actually makes him want a cigarette even more. Occassionally I am able to slip into conversation some little tidbit that I've read here at Freedom - sometimes he will talk a little about it, other times he just ignores it!
Several of our friends have also quit in the past few months, and it is making an impact on him. At the wedding reception we attended on Saturday night, he was the only smoker at our table! Last night, he came home from the neighbors house and said that he's beginning to feel like an outsider now, since hardly any of our friends smoke anymore. I wanted to say so much, but felt it was best to keep quiet and let him think about that.
I think he's finally accepted that my quit is real this time, and has actually commented on how well I'm doing. He still smokes in the house and the car, but does remove his ashtray and knows better than to ask me to pick cigarettes up at the store for him!
