As a former smoker (17 years and holding) no one can make some one else quit. One must make that decision for themselves. Tell him to quit playing games and smoke if he wants. He’s not fooling anyone. Ask him not to smoke around you or the kids and keep it out of the house for your health. Sounds like he’s already established a pattern. As for the lying about it there may be other trust issues there and I don’t condone lying between partners but it’s not a major deception as far as I can see. Are there other factors you are worried about? Congrats on quitting. You’ll be happier and healthier without the butts.
