cigarretes

So is there any way you can stop someone from smoking cigarretes? My boyfriend is 19 and i think he started at 18. I kinda dont remember. But he smokes like 4 each day , everyday . Im worried about him catching lung cancer in the future. I tried making him stop and he did try for a week, but went back. :/ i dont know what to tell him anymore. Any suggestions?

There are many remedies out there to quit: patches, gum, Chantix, electronic cigs, hypnosis,etc. But the only thing that makes any difference is person's attitude and unwavering commitment to quitting. The recent studies have shown that the most successful quitters are those that quit cold turkey.  Yes, cold turkey! Without all the expensive remedies.
Bottom line is, as I said before, a person can use any help they want, but without their decision to quit, none of the tricks will work. You can do nothing to persuade your boyfriend. He needs to want to quit himself.
And yes, it is definitely possible!

If he went back after a week he's probably not gonna stop. If you quit smoking, after three days it's all in your head.
