I REALLY want my bf to quit smoking. Should I keep on him about it or just let him quit when he's ready?
We've been together for a year and a few months. He does say he eventually wants to quit, and did attempt it once about a year ago. We are pretty serious -- he wants to move in together (I think I want to wait til we're engaged, tho), and I told him he has to quit before I would marry him or have children with him. Am I being too harsh and putting on too much pressure? I just love him and don't want him to die of lung cancer.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
He has fairly serious breathing problems and uses an inhaler. His Dr. has told him he needs to quit.

My hubby was smoking and I really wanted him to quit. I used to complain every time he went for a smoke. But that was just making him angry and annoyed. So I stopped that... I was telling him that I love him so I do care about his health that's why I'm worried about he's smoking. And it worked... he said that's all for me... already 2 months without smoking

I don't think you're harsh, I forced my current boyfriend to give up smoking and he did for a year - we broke up a month and he started again - I kindof ignore it now and he's giving up by himself so that's good! I understand your concern and that you love him but try not to make someone change - you'd hate it if he told you to change something about yourself, if he enjoys it, let him. If it's a massive problem and he doesnt mind changing it then good for him but some things you just have to accept
