You can not make her want to quit. She has to want to. You can not make her want to vape. She has to want to. You need to back off. You are only putting up her back up and she is digging in her heels. How would you feel if she was doing that to you (over your vaping). She may want to quit or cut down. She won't do it with you nagging and pushing her.

Lay the grounds for her to ask YOU questions. What flavors do you vape that your friends find smell amazing. Has she said some of your flavors smell amazing. Pick up a device you think she would like (eroll, spinner, something red or blue, whatever) and an easy evod or clearo and use it with that amazing smelling juice with her in a small space, like the car or standing next to her in the kitchen. Get her to ask you about it or the flavor.

You need to get her interested, not push her away.

Some people don't like vaping for so many reason. First we need to know what she doesn't like about vaping. Exactly what she doesn't like. Don't go pushing it on her but there are times where pushing can be done and they don't even know it. Start by getting her a nice little ecig that looks and feels like a cig. The kind from walmart will work. Set rules like no smoking in the house and no smoking in the car. When she gets up to go out and smoke ask her to have a vape with you and skip the cig this time. Keep that up and eventually she may enjoy the convenience of vaping in the house and the car and not stinking up her house car and clothes. If she starts to enjoy vaping the little ecig you can move her up to a big mod but don't bother if she's not ever going to dig the ecig.

Constantly tell her she stinks, that will work.

Don't tell her the truth but Ecigs haven't been proven to deliver one single iota of nicotine.

I'm in the same boat. But my s.o really needs to quit due to being pregnant. she says she wants to quit.( I said cool, I will quit with with you!) The ecig was HER idea! lol!! We spent a lot of money at a B&M store cause we wanted it then. It was a big mistake.
Anyways ,we got two twist kits with Vivi Nova's.
After dropping a lot of money on these kits with bottles of juice she says we will have to stick with it since we spent all of this money. I said deal, our packs we have will be the last. This was on a Saturday and I had my last pack on a Sunday, exactly one months ago.
Well she hasn't done well, actually she won't even try. Our goal was to gradually lower the nice to nothing.
I have really gotten into this. Upgraded to a pt2 and a eVic. I make my own juices and only after a month of vaping.
She says she is really proud of me . But I disappointed that she won't try. I have made her all nic levels. She does loves the strawberries and cream I made though.
She says she feens for the analog and vaping doesn't do it. She makes excuses like it doesn't taste right, or it tastes like nicotine etc. I will hit on it and it tastes just fine and here she goes lighting up that stinky!!!
Since my smell is a little better I can't stand the smell of analogs especially full flavor menthol cowboy killers. Yuk!! My clothes stink,our new car and our house.
I really don't know what to do...:banghead:

:( @ the OP and above........give them a bit really. Focus on yourselves and your new "life" solidly quit. They should follow suit.

I'm so trying to. I'm just concerned for her and our baby. She just smokes way to much(I won't even say). Even if she would try to cut down and vape .Baby steps would make me happy.

Well two things.......I think based upon the studies I have read(IMO NOT ECF statment. Feel free to do your own research but I'd caution to look up the studies not the clip notes) from looking at the actual studies. Smoking While pregnant isnt nearly as bad as smoking around the baby, mothers body filters out a lot of it. That realistically the risk to the fetus is fairly minor... Biggest problem is only a 7% Increase to the chances of the baby being unweighted. Considering genetic history, and other factors...that 7% may be nothing at all, a blessing to an issue.
I Dont think we should by any means encourage....pregnant women to smoke but I also dont think the harm is as great as we have lead to believe.
Saying mostly to claim a nervous father, but I dont think is a false statement.......the really nasty stuff from smoking is stuck in her lungs...it doesn't got to blood stream or through the many filters to the fetus.

Also get HER interested in ecigs....making ejuice for her and buying her stuff...isnt the same. As Her taking interest in it herself.

I would say just let her do it on her own but at this point cut her off your child is more important lay down the law, it might suck snd you will fight but imo it will be worth it for your child's health.

Wow. You're having a problem getting an addict to quit their drug(s) of choice? Never would have expected THAT! ;)

Just give it time. She has to come to vaping, not vaping coming to her.

I know it's just frustrating since this was her idea and I said sure I'll quit with you.
I smoked for 21 years and only one time I quit with chantix for a year and a half.
I know it's hard. This has been the easiest way to drop analogs. I'm not pushing it. But I won't go get any analogs for her.

I think that the best way to "convert" someone is just keep doing your thing. I had a smoker friend who thought eCigs were the silliest thing ever until we went to a concert together and I was able to vape and he wasn't able to smoke. Next day I was helping him shop for gear.

Everyone smokes cigarettes for different reasons (or no reason at all), and there's no shortage of criticism and comments and pressure from family/friends/strangers/personal physician/etc. If she feels like it, she'll switch. If not, then respect her decision (you were a smoker once too).

I would get her really, really drunk and convince her to dress up in something naughty. Then, get her to do that little dance she does while you film her using your cellphone.

When she wakes up in the morning and gets over the hangover, tell her that she either quits, or the video goes on teh innerwebs.
