So I am about a year and six months without smoking a cigarette.  I am one of those unfortunate individuals whose spouse still smokes so I really never have quit.  I don't crave cigarettes but GOD DAMN I WANT ONE!  If they said on the news the sun was going to get bigger and engulf the Earth in a week I would chain smoke right until the end.
 
Of course the reason I quit was not because I want to extend my life or because it is a nasty habit.  I quit because I am in my 30's, my hair is falling out, and I can't breath.  Well actually I can breath now but when I was a two pack a day person I couldn't breath at all.  It is well known that certain people who smoke will lose their hair quicker than most.  I'd like to at least make it to 50 before my head starts to give off a glare.
 
Meanwhile if anyone reads this can you give me advice on how I can get my wife to quit.  I've tried everything and nothing works.  When I say everything I mean threatening, guilt, reason, logic, praying, etc etc and she still smokes.  What can I do?

    Moonriver K'ung fu-tzu say, give her something to suck on that's more pleasurable than cigarette. Like, maybe, a fat Havana cigar?

    totally leave her alone about it....She wont quit til she wants to... Is the battle you fight to try to get her to quit worth it....I mean, Is it paying off.....? You have to want to quit to be able to do it.... I quit 9 weeks ago...but I still would LOVE to smoke...I enjoyed it... But I wanted to quit for some of the same reasons you did..... You have to make up your mind....and then its still hard.... Hang in there.....she'll give it up when she's ready
