Dh is a smoker. He gave up in Nov 2007 using patches. I describe him as a smoker because he loves smoking, he was a 40 a dayer, would still be smoking that now if it wasn't for the endless nagging he knows he'd get and because we have 2 young children.
So its great that he's given up obviously. My problem is that 8 years later he is still using patches. Step 1 patches. It's supposed to be a 3 month programme or something. I know it's infinitely better than actually smoking but I feel very frustrated about it and also concerned that they are not designed for long term use. He does manage the occasional day or two without but that's it. Also, we are currently on holiday and he will tend to smoke a bit on holiday (maybe 5-6 a day, not loads) but he's doing that on top of wearing patches which I have drawn to his attention - I don't think he'd even thought about it.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Any next steps I could suggest or any info on long term patch use?
Thank you.
