Quitting as an individual is difficult at times, but if you are in a relationship it can be made easier or harder depending on your partner.
If one person wants to quit, the other may resist but promise to only smoke outside.
But once you quit you will be hyper aware of the smell of smoke on their clothing and hair.
This can be a difficult situation especially if you had a habit of spending time together for a drink and a smoke.
You may feel you will want to stop these times, which were previously shared with a cigarette but it is important to keep your rituals going.
The only thing to ensure is that you both want to quit.
If only one is quitting only to please the other then it is doomed to fail.
Then there will be arguments and the reluctant quitter will soon take up cigarettes again.
The stress of this can put pressure on the one who is keen and they may fold under pressure.
The ideal situation is when your partner and you decide to quit together.
You choose the same day to quit.
You offer each other support and you can continue the times you spent communicating together, but without cigarettes.
This is easy because you both are free from the smell of smoke, you can get rid of the ashtrays and clean your cars.
Plus you can offer each other support, if the going gets tough.
Prior to quitting you can map out the times you each think will be the hardest and be prepared to back each other up during the tricky moments.
Of course you don't need to be a couple to help each other.
Two friends can support each other just as well.
It's advisable to quit on the same day.
In most hypnosis sessions there is a pre hypnosis component.
It is best if you both attend together to hear the exact same things from the therapist.

It takes at least that long before the cells of both bodies are suitably repaired to produce health eggs and sperm.
