The only problem is that I just found out he smokes and I find it one of the most disgusting things ever. I would talk to him about it but I don't feel like I can just ask him to stop or tell him how I feel. What should I do?

Mu hubbie smoked when I met him.
Blegh the smell made me want to retch.
I told him I would never tell him not to smoke, or demand that he quit... but that if he smoked a cigarette then there was no way I was going to kiss him till after he brushed his teeth.
LUCKILY he had been thinking about cutting down or quitting anyway because of the whole Lung Cancer and Horrible Horrible Death issue.
We would go out and every time he had a craving I would snog his face off to remind him it was worth staying strong.
I think if you just pull away from your boyfriend and tell him to brush his teeth because he stinks every time he tries to kiss you, he may get the message and not smoke around you. Plus if he buys a pack while you are around you could remind him what other things he could have bought instead. 8 packs = 1 xbox game.
Good Luck!! xx
