I keep telling my wife to quit smoking and although she tries she doesn't seem to be able to quit?

It makes me mad when my wife smokes, I have caught her smoking in the house around my 12 year old daugther. Is smoking that addictive? I can't understand why someone would do something so nasty. Somedays I want to throw my hands up and just get divorced. Any advice on how to help my wife, she says she wants to quit, but hasn't done so in 22 years. Only short periods of time like 4 months here 4 months there. thanks

FYI the only time I nag is when she smokes in front of our daughter or in the house. I don't nag her any more, because it causes more pressure on her. But it's hard to watch someone slowly killing themselves with cigarettes everyday. Lifes to short to throw away on smoking. When she quits, it's like having a new wife, no smoke on her clothes, clean breath, house smells better, and I know she is extending her life. It's a catch 22, if I nag her she gets mad, if I don't say something she keeps smoking and smokes in the house behind my back. There's no possible way I can understand this habit.

Smoking around another person is not only selfish, it is threatening their life. Many children have developed cancer as an adult from their parent having smoked around them. I just finished months and months of chemo and a bone marrow transplant. I had so many tubes coming out of my chest I looked like a giant squid. I DID NOT EVER smoke but my father did. He just had prostate cancer.

Call the American Cancer Society and have them send her all the information on the harm of second-hand smoke. Tell them you want every gory detail, including photos. They will send them for free. That is what I did to my daughter when I caught her smoking. It did the trick.

After your wife gets good and scared, send her to the Dr for help to quit. There are patches out there that are working great for people.
