I've been off the forum for a couple of weeks. I'm posting in this forum because I consider you all my vaping family.

My mom was hospitalized with pneumonia and was very, very sick. She was released about a week ago, and she is staying with me for now.

While in the hospital, she was diagnosed with end-stage lung cancer. She has multiple tumors in both lungs. She's 77 and has smoked for over 60 years.

Everyone here knows I'm a big fan of the V4L Vapor King, but this message is for anyone still smoking regular analog cigarettes. Whether you choose a Vapor King or another e-cig model, for God's sake please quit smoking NOW! You never know when the bullet is going to strike.

Smokers who get lung cancer usually end up with small cell carcinoma. It is the fastest-growing, most lethal kind. I will probably have my mom around for a few more months if that. I am so sad. But I can't let my emotions show, because I have to take care of her first and foremost.

Please don't delay in making the switch. Your family and friends do not want you to die this horrible, painiful death. If you don't like the first e-cig you get, try another. If that one doesn't work, then try another one. Do not give up -- many of us have successfully quit smoking analogs, and you can, too.

Moonstruck, my heart goes out to you and your family. I know there are no words to explain what you're going through.

We lost my mother-in-law the same way a few years ago. Every time I think about her I give thanks that I was able to bring her home where we could take care of her until the end. She passed away knowing she was surrounded by family, including several great grandchildren.

You are in my prayers.
