Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don't have any experience of this, so I'd appreciate any tips from those who have been there already.

Edit 02/10: he's still clean!

Chime away :)

It was more about the commitment that I made in my head when I decided to quit smoking that kept me from lighting up

That's the key - that commitment. Interesting that you found it OK to not change your habits to avoid smokers etc. I would've found that torture.

It’s different for everyone. I hang out at a coffeehouse and most of my friends there are smokers. If I didn’t see them for a month or two while I quit smoking, that would be torture.
