My husband of 3 years is 41 years old and has been smoking since he was a teenager. He has tried to quit several times, but has always failed. He is afraid to quit and afraid to fail. My problem is this, the smell is really putting a damper on our relationship, not to mention his constant coughing. When we met he smoked about a pack a day, now he is up to almost 3! Not only is it breaking the bank, it is killing him right before my eyes! I am at a loss as to what to do and how to deal with it personally. It's very hard to be encouraging or to overlook it because it is such a part of his life. It's hard to be intimate with him because the smell really bothers me so it's affecting our marriage. I don't smoke by the way, although I have in the past. I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks
