shelly..I hope your dh can quit. I quit after smoking 2+ packs/day for over 46 yrs. I quit once b/4 using Nicorette gum. Quit for 3 yrs. then got mad about something and grabbed a smoke. That was all it took and I was back at 2 pks/day. I know one thing..nagging a smoker will not work. They will quit when they get ready. I finally go so upset with all of the taxes I was paying on cigarettes and that was all it took. I just quit cold turkey. I kept a pack of opened cigarettes next to my computer for 2 1/2 yrs and never took one out. I knew if I did I would have to quit all over and I wasn't paying one penny more in taxes than I had to, Dumb but it worked for me. My friends are still surprised I quit. They never thought I'd do it.Good luck to your husband.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here but Betty Kirk/sjells has been in the hospital. She has emphysema and is now in a rehab/nursing home to get her meds/breathing improved and get her up and moving around. She has been in bed for several months unable to get around. She is very weak.
