It doesn’t bother me that I cannot do this with him, but I don’t want him to do this for the rest of his life.

Is it wrong of me to ask him to do this?When you quit smoking, did you quit for your boyfriend? No, you quit for yourself. It is obvious that you like the changes that sobriety has brought to your life.
