If he wants to quit smoking, I'd just encourage him to keep using the e cig as much as he can, and if he has to smoke, go for it. For so many of us, vaping has won out over cigarettes, but not always within a day or a week. vaping can definitely replace the physical need for nicotine, and the habitual, hand-to-mouth activity. Maybe he'll get more comfortable with the inhale experience of vaping with a little more time. Good luck with it!
No, he really is trying to quit. He just wants the drag to feel more like a cigarette I guess? He hasn't has a cigarette for the past couple of days, but he comments on how the inhale doesn't feel the same. I was wondering if there was anything to help that.
