Frances,
There are certain absolutes I have in my criteria for relationships (including friendships). One of that is that they cannot smoke. See the CDC’s website for the health dangers of second hand smoke.

I agree with anita. You cannot “force” your boyfriend to quit. Accept that your boyfriend will not quit and make your decision to leave (or stay) based on that.
