How to help my boyfriend with his nicotine addiction?

My boyfriend quit smoking when we started dating, about 9 months ago. He used an e-cigarette plus camel snus packets for awhile, before switching to completly the e-cigarette. When we went on vacation this summer he started using Snus again, because he didn't want to lose or damage his e-cigarette. Now that we are back at school he hasn't gone back to using the e-cigarette much, uses snus all the time, and has talked about wanting to take up smoking again. Is there any way I can help him with this? I was really glad he bought an e-cigarette because his smoking made me worried for his health, and Snus packets aren't really healthy either... Any advice would be great.

Side note: His mentality is that he just misses the habit of smoking when going to classes, before bed, etc. and being back at school reminds him of that and how he used to smoke when he was stressed. Also, he says that he used to smoke the e-cigarette almost constantly when just being in his dorm room last year, and that it still wasn't enough to make him not want a cigarette.

Please give any suggestions.

you sound like you wish he would use ecig and not snus. neither is good for a person but those ecigs who knows what we will learn about those as time passes. Who knows how camel snus is made but true Swedish snus has been made for 200+ years. here's some info http://www.harmreductionjournal.com/content/8/1/11 I refuse to paint Swedish snus as harmless but choosing between an ecig or Swedish snus the Swedish snus wins hands down.
