Both of my husband and father are having one vice which is smoking. I think everyone knows that smoking is not only bad for our health but also will impact on environment. My husband’s throat has some problems and he often cough unconsciously. The doctor suggested him to quit the smoking immediately.
In fact, he tried to quit many times but he failed every time. I also tied to help him to find some ways which can distract his attention for smoking, such as chewing gums, fidget spinner. However, I found the most important thing was his addiction which made him be out of control by himself. One of my friends recommended one kind of candies to me which contained some nicotine. It helps the person in the beginning stage who have long time smoking history and decide to quit. I bought this candies for my husband. He told me he would stop cold turkey with the help of candies. During that time, since he was very busy and traveled a lot, I found he was so irritable and emotional. When he found his behaviors, he would have a cigarette to calm down. So obviously he failed to quit the smoking again.
For now, I don’t want to blame him about the smoking issue anymore since I think he can evaluate and he need to make the determination.
