How to get over boyfriend smoking?

I have many reasons for disliking smoking, the main one being someone I know dying recently of lung cancer and now my boyfriend has started smoking. He knows that it really upsets me but when I tried to talk to him about it he just got really angry and defensive.

It grinds on me and every time he mentions it I flare up. How do I get over my problem with smoking? or, how do I become more tolerant of it? I don't want this to be a permanent black spot on our relationship and I'm tried of feeling angry and hurt every time I see a packet on him.

    Tell him you are concerned about his health and yours to because second hand smoke is dangerous. Buy him a electronic cigarrette to try out, it is healthier than a normal cigarette, contaims no tar or toxins other than nicotine. There is really no way to completely get over it since yoy will be around him most of the time.

    sorry about the person who passed away its his choice but you really need to have a heart to heart chat with him and tell him how you feel and ask if he can smoke in his own time.
