    Hi everyone,

    My boyfriend has decided to give up smoking, he's going cold turkey on them after 18 years of smoking next week. I'm not a smoker myself but i do realize that it will be very hard for him, i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions how to keep him distracted from thinking about smoking and in general support him through it? we don't live together but see him twice a week

    Thanks in advance

    Keep the mood happy and light, distract him as best u can. Have a stock of lollipops or gum in your bag, I know that helps me! Tell him you're so proud of him for doing it! That's the best thing really, support!
