This morning g he told me was going to ask. Of cigarettes.I went quiet. Then he said one more pk won't hurt. I felt like listing all the people who had cancer., but instead bit my tongue and cried. I also said I didn't want to lose him. Then he told me I cry over everything.
Yes I do cry easy
But this isn't everything. This is SOMETHING! What does he expect? To laugh and act like nothing is wrong?

@scared2 Nicotine is a powerful addiction, and even though he said he quit [last week?] it still will play on your mind. Many times people use cigarettes for a crutch as they process emotions, or as "something to do". Would he consider chewing on a mint toothpick, or a straw? Going for a walk when he wants a cigarette, or some other form of exercise? I am pretty sure his medical team would not endorse him smoking again.
