I found something encouraging in a news article for you about the smoking:

The urge to smoke is contagious, but quitting apparently is, too. A team of researchers who showed that obesity can spread person-to-person has found a similar pattern with smoking cessation: A smoker is more likely to kick the habit if a spouse, friend, co-worker or sibling did.

What's more, smokers tend to quit in groups and those who don't stop puffing increasingly find themselves pushed to the edge of their social circles, the researchers found.

"Your smoking behavior depends upon not just the smoking behavior of the people you know, but also the people who they know" and so on, said Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a medical sociologist at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the new report.

Here is the rest of it/full article:

So maybe you want to consider if he hangs around a ton of smokers - or not so many - and could he be more likely to quit because a) he wants to and b) you and his kids don't like it?

I hope he quits. Can't wait to hear more of your stories - I am so happy for you with this one after all the doodoo you had to put up with the other one!

Thank you for passing along the info. So sweet of you to be thinking of me.

I'm taking it slow with this one. Want to go in with my eyes open for once. He knows how I feel about the smoking so we'll see what he does about it. If nothing, then I know his kids and I are not important enough to him. What a telling sign that would be...
