i've tried to stop his drinking and smoking believe me i have tried. I'm a broken record. He's and addict and alchoholic...and before i met him he had gone to rehab and aa. nothing works. if he won't quit on his own and this isn't making him quit either than all i can say is i tried since 2007 when he was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and he went back to it and i told him that it was going to do nothing but cause problems and lo and behold Cancer of the tongue! And yet after this dramatic surgery and all he still smokes and drinks and believe me I can't "bitch" anymore than I do now. I've actually have told him he may have to move out of my house because I am not going to watch him kill himself.
