I would definitely pay any extra to help stop. They offer free Chantix through our health dept. I am hoping hubby will soon take advantage. He keeps saying he is going too.

I know what you mean. But smoking is an addiction. If you cant afford the amount he is spending on smoking, maybe set the allowance amount at what you can afford and if he wants/needs more he can go out and earn it. My DH used to donate plasma before I told him to stop, he needed to take a break health wise so I said if he stopped I would increase his blow money, since it was me that wanted him to stop donating plasma for his health.
My DH chews, we have two boxes of regular nicorette type gums in the cabinent, I went out and bought him the flavored nicorette gum since he said he would have used the gum, IF the Pharmacy had not sent him the flavor less stuff. Well 200 pieces of gum ($80) sit on the table because he desided since he may get deployed again in Nov/Dec he is just going to start chewing again. Put Kodiak Chew right on the care package wish list I started for him.
His chew/smoking sticks comes out of his allowance/blow money, I dont get blow money because I am frugle and because he says I always have access to the money...I do always have access I just have a extremely hard time spending money on myself instead of saving.
Smoking is a bad habit, can you not afford the money he is spending? Maybe if he is going to spend $50 a month on smoking you could take the same $50 and take out a life insurance policy on him....You are spending the same amount and planning for the outcome of his addiction!
