My oldest son is 18. I found out a while ago that he smokes. Naturally, I felt guilty because I feel he smokes because he grew up seeing me smoke.
I had him try my KR808, and he HATED it.
I had him try my Tornado, and at first, he said the TH was too much for him, and while he didn't hate it, he wasn't used to it. I told him if he ever wanted to switch, I'd buy him his own Tornado kit.
Each time I've made a new flavor of juice, I've had him try it on my Tornado, and without realizing it, he's slowly learned how to draw on it better.
He finally told me about 3 weeks ago that he didn't want to smoke anymore, and could I buy him the Tornado. I told him that when I got the extra cash I would. When he found out it was $80, he told me to forget it, but I explained that $80 to see him give up smoking was more than worth it to us.
He thought I'd forgotten all about it, but I ordered him the red Tornado on Friday, and it got here yesterday.
I felt it only fair that a prank be pulled. I called him into my room, and sat him down, and just said "I CAN'T believe you thought you'd get away with this!!" He got the MOST
face, and I said "The school called me today, and I.AM.......!" He got more and more confused, and kept asking what he did, over and over, and then I just tossed the TW package into his lap. He said he didn't want to open my mail, and I told him it was HIS mail.
He opened it, and was SO excited! And after telling me he was ...... that I scared him for nothing, he opened the box and was asking us how everything went together, etc. Hubby and I schooled him on the various parts, and he ran off to charge it up.
I am SO happy that he's ready to not smoke. Even though he's still in school, he's 18 and used his own money to buy analogs, so the most I did was tell him he couldn't smoke in our home. Nagging wouldn't have helped him quit, it would have made it worse. I could only hope that he would eventually want to try the e-cig and now that he has, I can only hope that it works for him.
So, Brandan....I love you so much, and am so proud of you!
