My very dear co worker is an African American woman. We became best buddies while going out for a smoke. Then I discovered e cigs.
We still go out for our smoke, but I vape while she smokes (smokers in the office get extra unofficial breaks, I'm not giving that up!!!)
Anyway, I've tried to convince her to try e cigs, even offered to buy her some for her birthday, but she won't. She says that it has been proven that African Americans have a harder time quitting then whites. She says this may be because they often smoke menthols (she smokes Newports). She says she has tried so often and so hard to quit that she's not willing to try again.
I am NOT going to be one of those people who bug someone about life choices, so I've said my piece and will now be quiet. BUT, I've caught her checking out this forum on her computer!!! She's interested, she wants to try. She needs encouragement.
So, if you are an African American, can you tell us your experiences? do you think it's different than any other race?
Also gentlemen: This is a lovely Christian widow, great cook, owns her own house, her kids are all grown, you never know we can turn this into the e cig and dating forum!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
