Hello E cig forums. I am new here and the sole purpose of me joining this forum was in the hopes that I could obtain some advice tips for the mom who just wont quit.
I am 22, I bought my first pen style e cig awhile back and I loved it immediately. I soon realized tho there were much better devices then the pen style I was using. I made the natural progression to a little box mod I had for a few months then I just recently purchased a Lavatube Lambo 4.0. I love it and I could never thank the miracle that are ecigs for saving me & my lungs from those nasty things.
Now I managed to convince my father (a pack & a half smoker for 40 years) to purchase an ecig and within 2 weeks he was off analogs and a year later I bought him a new mod and I take care of refilling and doing all the dirtywork for him to try and make his experience as simple as analogs were to him.
My mom on the other hand is much different (pack a day smoker for 40 years as well) every once in awhile I try to ask her and point her into the direction of just giving them a try, as soon as I mention it she will quickly avoid the subject or say how she is too tired to talk about it. I had her on those pen style ecigs for a little while until she was at work one day and the battery crapped out on her and she panicked and ran to the closest shop and bought a pack. I dread that mistake to this day as I think she bases her entire negative opinion on the subject via that mishap.
It's so frustrating as she is a health nut and never buys any junk food...She swims twice a day and just generally stays in shape & she tries to force her healthy opinion on the entire family when I think it is slightly hypocritical when she is the last in the family to be on analogs.
She says she wants to quit all the time & tells me how shes going to do it but I think In her mind she doesn't want to quit and why in the hell would she shell out 50+ dollars on something she thinks wont work.
I don't want to spend 50+ dollars of my own if she isn't even going to try it either, it kills me.
Maybe there is nothing I can do until she REALLY wants to quit? :'(
Anywhoo if there is any advice from some of you long time analog smokers out there who quit via ecigs I would very very very much appreciate it.
Thanks for reading!
