How do i get my bf to stop smoking cigarettes?

My bf smokes a lot (weed) and maybe once a week he smokes a cig. he says he's not addicted, but im not sure because i know he smokes them when im not around, and i know they're very easy to be addicted too. the only reason i want him to stop is because he's only 16 and he's killing himself, and it scares me. He's very straight minded, and im scared he'll get mad at me if i keep on constantly telling him to stop. He gets upset quite easily. He's explained that he only does it every once and i while im just so scared for him and i dont know what to do.

Please no mean or negative answers, you're just waisting your time.

Update:

**we're sexually active and i dont really wanna threaten anything or say "im not gonna kiss you unless you stop" or whatever... i have to be very careful because i dont want him getting upset

    First off, I don't think you should pressure your boyfriend by not having sex with him, because he can find some booty somewhere else, or he'll just smoke behind your back (lying is never good). Secondly, to actually smoke a cigarette you have to breath it into you lungs, but I agree he shouldn't be wasting others cigarettes. Thirdly, he has to want to quit! You can't make him, an addiction is an addiction! I've been smoking for years, I know it's harmful. I'll quit when I'm ready. Let him know it bothers you maybe that may influence him, but if it doesn't and you love him you are going to have to learn to deal with it.

    Tell him that you love him and you are not trying to push him around or tell him what to do but you`re scared about his well being.

    You can't make people stop smoking they have to want to and none of the scare tactics

    are going to make a person quit. My guy stopped because he didn't like spending the money.

    He was saving up for something else and figured the taxes alone he could have what he wanted

    in 6 months so he quit. Being sexually active with a guy you want to change is letting yourself

    in for a very sad summer, he is going to leave you and you gave yourself to him. Maybe stop being

    so 'active', sex is not a recreational sport. Find something positive to do like volunteer work or helping those in need through church or community groups. Trying to change a guy is probably the worst thing any girl can do, leads to nothing but disaster.
