My Step father quit cold cold turkey the same time me and my mom switched to vaping. He insists that I havent quit smoking. I've tried to educate the guy but theres no give. I stopped debating him about this. Some people will never get it. Im glad he quit, though I am not interested in giving up my nicotine nor my vaping!!!!cactus, you've already got great responses above. Just wanted to add, after seeing a few of these kinds of scenarios talked about on ECF, I think sometimes people just can not accept the truth about e-cigs. It's ex-smokers a lot of the time. Sometimes I think they just can't accept the fact they had to quit the hard way and that anything else is kinda cheating and so not as good. Good luck with your friend, but sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
