Turtles Head Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 who has got any ideas as to how i can get mrs head to stop smoking? I dont want to force her so this has to be done in a way that she thinks it was her idea to quit. Anyone any ideas? Cos she foooookin stinks of the things. One thing i have been doing every now and then in bed, is saying that she smells too bad. Then i promptly leave the room and sleep in the spare room. This gets to her quite bad to the point that she doesnt have 1 just before coming round. Advice much appreciated

Turtles Head Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 Shes 20(almost 21). Smoked on and off since she was 17. When we got together she quit for 6 weeks without me even saying anything. Think its cos of what i do(fitness intructor) she was trying to impress me. How them days have passed.....

IDEA OR IKEA Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 that would help would it?! Just trying to create a profile before we help, do you want our help or not....
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Cast vicious withering looks everytime she lits up. Then proceed to pretend to cough a lung out. If she asks if you want her to put it out, say "No, no, It's fine. I'm sure I'll survive." Then proceed to really give a hacking cough. Her guilt should now be so much, she stops.
Turtles Head Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 I have pictures yes. For my eyes only . I sent that picture to her phone just now. She wont like it haha Blimey TPH?
lookwhaticando Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 I have pictures yes. For my eyes only . I sent that picture to her phone just now. She wont like it haha Blimey TPH? He's jealous of your rock-hardness, abs-wise.
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 He's jealous of your rock-hardness, abs-wise. Surely not!? I thought TPH was proud of his belly o' beer. For he was the envy of no man!
Turtles Head Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 I sent her the pic. She replied "Oh thanks" I just keep dropping comments at her trying to lay the guilt trip. Like when shes coughing all night i tell her i had a crap nights sleep. Where i live some of the pubs have no smoking areas and when we're out we sit there if we're eating. Then after we've ate and she goes for a fag she comes back to find me either sat with other friends(female where possible) or im on the touchcreen playing on the football quiz and i greet her with a silent glare. Must be working
Turtles Head Posted 30 January 2007 Author Posted 30 January 2007 There is no rock hard abs. Believe me. Im a unfit as the next man. I just get to comment on other peoples fitness and they arent given the opportunty to pass judgement on mine as i never work out where i work . If they seen me attempting to play for my sunday league team then they'd know my secret.....
The People's Hero Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 I don't know what to suggest mate. Please do bear in mind though that it's not *easy* to give up. That's not to say she shouldn't try... but please do bear in mind it's not just going to be as easy as all that for her.

Must be working Sounds like you are are the right lines with this. People hate being ignored, just stick with it and she'll give up. She will thank you for it later.
Manwell Pablo Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Tell her she stinks constantly. That wont work, when people say that to me after I've been smoking I normally think something along the lines of "like I give a flying ****". http://www.presmark.com/images/lung4.gif Don't look at that if you don't like A) Human lungs B) Tar C) the two combined That'll have twice the effect.
MC Prussian Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 And make a little calculation with the total costs for cigarettes per year. You'll end up high enough. Just make sure you explain what to do with that amount of money instead, like a holiday for two someplace South.
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Also, if you manage to get her to give up, never be conned by the line 6 months later... "I've been so good, what I can have 1 can't I? It's been so stressful/hard/blah" Otherwise she'll be back on 'em in no time.

Say stuff like "I`m leaving you if you carry on smoking" or "my secretary has such fresh breath". "Ive consulted my doctor and if you continue smoking and then have a go on my one eyed flute you could give it cancer". Hold on, scrap the last one as she may just say "Im not doing that anymore just incase"
Lord Nibblington Posted 30 January 2007 Posted 30 January 2007 Ah yes. Said that plenty of times, it's amazing how one becomes several thousand. Yes... my girlfriend has done that. She gave up, then she had one when she was stressed once. So then she started having them just when we went out. Then just when she was waiting for the bus in the morning. Now I get home from work and the house stinks of fags. And every packet will be her last. Apparantly.
