It's very distressing, my husband has started smoking again, the promise of the day before yesterday has gone up in smoke, what can I do?
This is perfectly normal for people who smoke, but the fact that your husband has at least tried to quit shows that there has still been a desire to quit, suggests:
For the first method, you can take your husband (or, failing that, you alone) to the smoking cessation clinic at your local hospital and ask for the doctor's help;
In the second way, you can request guidance on smoking cessation interventions from the national smoking cessation hotlines 400-888-5531, 400-808-5531 or the health hotline 12320;
For the third method, my following smoking cessation science content may be useful for you. (Reference: China Clinical Smoking Cessation Guidelines 2015 Edition)
The first thing you need to do is to assess how severe your husband's tobacco dependence is, which we can do based on the two Tobacco Dependence Assessment Scales and the Smoking Severity Index, which are scales where higher scores indicate greater severity, but also greater likelihood of benefit after quitting.
Then, you need to find out if your husband has the will to quit smoking.
If you do not have the will to quit smoking, you can use the "5Rs" method to guide him to quit smoking, emphasizing over and over again the dangers of smoking to yourself and your family.
The "5Rs" include:
Relevance:To make smokers realize that quitting smoking is closely related to their own health and that of their families.
Risk:Make smokers aware of the serious health risks of smoking.
Rewards:Make smokers fully aware of the health benefits of quitting.
Roadblocks:Make smokers aware of and anticipate the problems and barriers they may encounter during the cessation process. At the same time, they should be made aware of existing cessation interventions (e.g., counseling and medications) that can help them overcome these barriers.
Repetition:Repeatedly administer the above motivational intervention for smoking cessation to smokers.
If there is a desire to quit, we usually intervene with the "5A" method, which is usually done with the help of a doctor.
"5A" includes:
Askand record the smoking status of all attendees
AdviseAll smokers must quit

AssessmentSmokers' willingness to quit

Providing help to quit smoking (Assist)
Practical smoking cessation counseling for smokers
Provide smokers with cessation information and introduce smoking cessation hotlines (national cessation hotlines 400-888-5531, 400-808-5531, health hotline 12320)
Doctors may recommend smoking cessation medications (nicotine patches, nicotine chewable gum, bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets, varenicline, etc.) for smokers who wish to quit.
Arrange (Arrange) follow-up visits:After a smoker starts to quit, the doctor will usually arrange for follow-up visits for at least 6 months, and not less than 6 visits in 6 months. Follow-up visits may take the form of asking the smoker to come to a cessation clinic or calling to find out how he or she is doing.
The process of quitting smoking is more or less like this, but successful quitting requires going through many stages and encountering a variety of problems, such as withdrawal symptoms manifesting as smoking cravings, anxiety, depression, restlessness, headaches, increased salivary gland secretion, lack of concentration, and sleep disorders, which can be overcome with the help of a doctor.
Welcome to like, forward, leave a message, I am physician Yang Hao, focusing on common diseases, multiple diseases diagnosis and treatment, chronic disease management, health science. If you want to know more about medical knowledge, welcome to pay attention to this headline!
I am a college health administration faculty member and I also work with a lot of people to quit smoking and talk about addiction and cessation methods:
1 The reason why cigarettes are addictive is because nicotine is a neurotransmitter that can calm people's moods, long-term use, it will trip dependence, withdrawal, there will be a withdrawal reaction, nausea, dizziness, irritability, so the method of quitting is not right, damage to health
2 Long-term behavior, trip heart dependence, heart dependence is the memory of the limbic system of the human brain, it is difficult to wear out! It is best to have a replacement.
Withdrawal methods , the following are not advertised
1 to not reduce the amount of smoke, reduce the content of harmful substances for the first part. Ordinary cigarettes tar content of about 13mg, first changed to the South China Sea 8mg, the amount of smoke remains unchanged, with three months; then changed to the South China Sea 5mg half a year, the last 3mg half a year!
2 In fact, Zhongnanhai 3mg a pack a day is already harmless. For total withdrawal, try chewing gum, tea instead!
I am a faculty member in the Department of Health Administration at SHCC. Thank you for your interest!
Men smoke, at first because of curiosity, climbing in their youth, and then it becomes a habit, more like a salvation. Of course I don't advocate smoking, it's bad for your health.
I just want to say that if you really want your husband to quit smoking, you need to find out what exactly is the reason for your husband's smoking, purely because of the addiction, you can physically treat it, such as finding substitutes to gradually replace the addiction of smoking.
But the vast majority of men smoke, possibly because of inner loneliness, or some other heart factor.
I suggest you.
A First, talk to your husband about when he started smoking, why he was smoking at the time, and be sure to tell the truth about the root cause of why exactly.
Secondly, after learning about the age of the smoker, talk about the time of day when he became addicted to cigarettes.
Three Talk a little more about how he would feel if he didn't smoke.
IV Intersperse the above done process with some of his life experiences. Let him tell stories. It can enhance feelings.
Five Finally I don't recommend a one-time total break, if you are addicted to cigarettes, I recommend cutting back every day, and making sure to hold back until you just can't stand it anymore, so you can smoke one. For example, from one carton a day, to one carton in 3-4 days. Gradually. It is also good for his body.
I don't know if this has helped you. Please leave a comment if you don't understand.
Suddenly quitting smoking can have side effects, and it's emotionally overwhelming.
I think a slow incremental reduction with a good plan, like 1 or half a stick a day, along with finding suitable substitutes, like gum, etc., for 6 months or a year, should make it possible to quit.
And it also prevents you from sneaking a smoke by yourself and losing trust between the couple.
In the end it's like the line from the fireman played by Simon Yam--
Can I smoke? I can smoke, but I don't. Smoke in the hand, but not in the heart.
I hope it's helpful to you. 😀 😀
What should I do if my husband quits smoking and starts smoking again within a few days? Smoking is indeed not a good habit and is offensive. The fact that your husband has quit smoking shows that he has realized the harm of smoking. However, because the addiction is so strong and deep, it may be difficult to quit smoking completely at one time. That's why he resumed smoking, which shows that quitting smoking is difficult. Without enough self-control and a poor sense of self-control, it is difficult to successfully quit smoking. As you, you can help him to quit smoking at this time. For example, when he wants to smoke, so that it can not find the smoke and fire, then he will not be able to over the smoking habit. You can also draw his attention away from smoking. He can be guided to do things that are good for his physical and mental health, such as walking after meals and exercising. You can also make a gentleman's agreement with him on how to punish him if he resumes smoking. More importantly, let him understand the dangers of smoking and that it is not good for the body. Let him understand that smoking will jeopardize the health of his family and the health of his children. Scientific studies have proven that smoking is harmful to health. Nowadays, all countries have introduced smoking cessation policies, and smoking cessation orders have been issued accordingly in different parts of the world. If you want to be a law-abiding citizen, you should respond to the call of the state and local governments and resolutely quit smoking, which is good for others and yourself, and good for your physical and mental health. I believe that if your husband is a sensible person who loves people and loves himself, a person with enough self-control, he will definitely succeed in quitting smoking.
Go online and find a smoker's lung to show him, that lung is black and miserable!
My colleague's father is a decades old smoker, the family used all kinds of methods have not been successful in quitting smoking, and then my colleague's grandfather passed away due to lung cancer, the attending doctor said that smoking has a lot to do with the colleague's father since then completely quit smoking!
In fact, second-hand smoke is more harmful than first-hand smoke, and if you love your family, you should quit smoking for them!
It's hard to quit right away. Tell him to smoke less, not to smoke when he can.
Buy him some good cigarettes. Excellent.
I used to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, I used to doze off when I quit, then I relied on coffee and chocolate to boost my energy, and I basically don't smoke anymore, even occasionally, not more than a pack a year, but at the cost of my body fat [teeth bared]
Smoking is really not a good habit, the body is not good, but quit smoking is really a difficult project, a physical, a psychological, and then is the living environment, physical withdrawal reaction is okay, mainly psychological, to a certain extent, smoking cessation and detoxification is almost the same, as long as there is a determination to quit smoking is a good idea, find ways to keep him busy, don't be idle, and use other good habits to replace the bad habits of smoking, more exercise, at home, do housework, and outside you have to face too many temptations, social interaction smoking seems to be a really fast way to mingle, now most of the public places are banned from smoking. The bad habit of smoking, more exercise, at home to do housework, outside the face of too many temptations, socializing and socializing smoking seems to be a really fast way to mingle, the good thing is that most of the public places are now prohibited smoking, socializing and socializing try to choose a clear no-smoking places, of course, in the final analysis the main thing is that he personally have to have the will to quit smoking only!
