Resentment_26701

I have known this guy for a year, and I have been a smoker for two. About a month ago, we started dating. He is an adament nonsmoker, and has said repeatedly that he would never date someone who smokes. A few days ago, he gave me an ultimatum: the relationship or the cigarettes... so I told him I'd try to quit. The thing is, I feel forced into this, and I'm getting frustrated. I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready to quit yet...There's another part to this as well: he has no clue how strong this addiction is. He thinks I'm psyching myself out,Herbal cigarettes, and that it should be a piece of cake. I tried to quit back in January and made it less than 48 hours. He basically thinks that it is only a physical addiction, and doesn't understand that the mental part can be just as strong if not stronger. From his perspective, it is just a matter of me having enough willpower. He thinks once I get past the first 72 hours, I will never crave a cigarette again. I've tried to explain this to him to no avail. Last night, when I told him I was scared to quit, he got angry with me,stop smoking now, and told me to just "get over it." If it was that simple, I would have quit a long time ago... I'm just feeling resentful right now, and I need to vent.
