Will do!

Need a hint?  Pregnancy worked for daughter-in-law to get it done.  How does that work for you  ;)

Quitting smoking is got to be one of the hardest things to do.

Prayers and wishes sent.

Find out what sort of candy she likes and buy tons of it.

Maybe a little psychology, Jay?

Find something YOU should be quitting and set up a partnership of mutual support in quitting.

Then you have weak moments where she can support you with pep talks about how you can be strong and get it done.

She will be giving herself the same pep talk and it will already be coming from within.

Then you can thank her each time for her strength and support and good example.

Of course, she might cuss at you for being weak when she needed you to be strong.

Take care.

Well, we sortof did that. She smokes, I'm fat. I'm trying to watch what I eat and lose weight, but you HAVE to eat...you don't HAVE to smoke...so it's a bit of a delicate negotiation. She's trying really hard and doing very well, and I'm being supportive and trying to lose some weight. We'll see.

You sir are in a win/win situation!

You need exercise and she need to occupy her free time and the craving to have something in her hand and mouth ...  ;)
