My fiance has been smoking on and off, probably 15 years. He has successfully come several times, only to eventually end up smoking again. He smokes about half packs a day right now. He knows how much I can’t stand it because I don’t want to lose him to cancer or heart disease in 20 years, but this doesn’t seem to deter him enough. He wants to stop, or at least he says so, and he has tried the gum and the lozenges with a little success, but he doesn’t seem completely motivated (sometimes he’ll choose the cigarette over the lozenge, for example). What can I do to help him stop for good? Do you have any ideas, or ways that you’ve helped someone stop smoking?
He hates fixing stuff up around the house, unless it’s a comuputer heh… but I could keep his hands busy with a video game.. thanks for the idea.
I think he also likes the social aspect of smoking, which is an even harder thing to break imo…
Once he stops, then GET HIM BUSY!!!
You have to "break the cycle" of "hand to mouth" routine. By keeping him busy, you will be doing him a favor, and yourself a favor.
For one thing, buy him some tools and have him repair stuff around the house. This will make him think you "really love him" (As any woman who would buy a man a tool is the BEST TYPE OF WOMAN!!!) 
Then, get him busy doing those "little projects" you always wanted to get done.
Now, dont get him started drinking beer, for the cigarrettes, or it will be another addiction that will be hard to stop! ! Give him Gatoraide or soda (if you give soda, make sure you drink one glass of water for every glass of soda you drink, like soda turns your acidic body and deterrioration cause teeth and other health problems).
I wish you success ..
