A real talk with your husband will do. But do it in a nice way of course. You can explain to him the negative effects of cigarette smoking, and you don't want him to suffer from its painful effects, that you want him to live longer for your family especially for your children. You can both research of other alternative to lessen his cravings for cigarette and eventually quit it for good. There are better alternatives now like a laser acupuncture, patches, the electronic cigarette too because it has no nicotine element that causes diseases in your health. What else, you can also try asking him if you can both participate in more physical activities. That way, you are helping him to stay away from having a smoke and at the same time, you'll get to bond more.

My uncle has been a smoker his whole life before trying the laser acupuncture. It really worked for him. Right now, he is living a new life without worrying of lung diseases.

To answer your last question, a laser is applied to points on the hands, face, wrist, and ears.

Actually, you can quit smoking totally with the help of laser acupuncture. This is a safe method and pain free (does not involve needles, hypnotherapy or drugs). A laser light is used to stimulate the acupuncture points on the body to reduce stress and anxiety, cravings and regulate hormone levels.
