My dad used those patches to help stop.
And he chewed on toothpicks  and gum a lot to stop the cravings.

If he hasn't tried it - go for the patch!!!!  It really works.  I used it 9 yrs ago and never went back!!!!  Good luck to him!!!!

Let's see, there are patches, pills, and gum.

Some people are also able to quit after hypno-therapy.  It is a treatment option out there.   :o

I stopped 12 Years ago and it was not easy (my Wife still smokes) one thing that help me was Cinnamon Sticks have him use them just like a Cigarette just don't lite it (lol) but hold it between the Fingers take it to the Mouth and take a puff inhale it and blow it back out....Oh well I think you get the Idea. Good Luck to your Husband  he can do it I used to smoke 2 Packs a Day more on the weekend have him do it one day at the time.  8)

Shoot.  I forgot to mention this.  He might try switching to electronic cigarettes.  You can google them if you have not heard of them.  My mother-in-law is using them right now to quit.  She has cut back considerably.  It is helping her.

It may not be for your husband, but it is worth looking into as a substitute.
