Your husband is not permitted to smoke because it is forbidden () and harmful to him and those around him. It is not permissible to seek a divorce for this reason. Rather, you should offer sincere advice and explain the harms of smoking, seeking help from books, audio recordings, and fatwas that discuss this issue, while also monitoring the children's behavior and warning them against anything harmful.
