I wanted to get people's views on getting partner to stop smoking. My partner of 8 years has always smoked. He smokes quite heavily (15 - 20 roll ups a day). I've asked him to stop lots of times and he says he wants to and has tried but always gives in after a day or two. I've been worrying about it a lot since my Dad died of cancer. I'm expecting my first baby in January and I really want him to stop before then as the Health Advisor says it increases risk of cot death. He doesn't smoke in the house but it's still on his clothes etc. I've talked to him about and he says he will but he's said he'll stop lots of times and never does! I don't want to keep nagging him about it as it always leads to an argument but at the same time I don't want the baby breathing in the second hand smoke. I used to smoke myself and I know it's really annoying to have people preaching at you but it's really worrying me. Anyone else dealing with this?
