People smoke because they find it a stress release, just like some people drink alcohol or do drugs. This is not the time for him to quit smoking. If you want to help him then go on the internet and look up the symptoms of depression. Sit down with him and tell him you love him and care enough for him that you looked up the information and see if you can't get him to see his family doctor. He should have a good physical to be sure he doesn't have something else such a thyroid disorder, adrenal gland problems, Diabetes, hormonal deficiency, etc. Then if all tests come back the doctor will ask him questions and decide if your uncle needs to be put on medications for depression along with good therapy from a counselor. Deal with one thing at a time. Ignore his smoking and get to the root of the problem and then once things settle down for him perhaps he'll quit smoking. Good luck. He's lucky to have you!

Would you be hurt if you husband lied to you about smoking or chewing tobacco?

If your husband is trying to quit smoking and he obviously lied to you, no, you should not be hurt. By hounding him about smoking or chewing tobacco you are stressing him out and when he gets stressed the urge is more. Try helping him by having him go to the doctors who will prescribe the latest medications to help him stop smoking. Say nothing as quitting smoking is a road the smoker must go down alone. Your husband is lying to you because he feels he has let himself down and you as well.
