   Nothing you say or do will get him to quit. I smoked for 20 years, and I’m telling you, until he is ready he will not quit, it is better to get off his @ss, he is a big boy and can make the right choice when he is ready to do so. Hounding someone to quit only upsets them, makes them feel guilty and pissed which leads right back to the comfort of smoking more.

   I finally quit because I was ready, not because someone told me I should.

   Well quitting drinking is a start.I believe exercise and fitness is the best way,also eating right.He will see the difference right away.

   take a wallet sized picture of you and on the back write "please, for me." and stick it in his cig pack.

   I’m sorry i can’t really help.. smoking is an addiction, he has to go to rehab… but while he is trying to quit smoking you can get him to like something healthier for him, like in stead of taking a smoke, he can just suck on a lollipop or something, i heard that works for some.
