Hi,

Just wanted to say hi to all. Trying to get off the smokes and use a PV instead. It is hard for me as Hubby smokes and in the apartment, but should not for health reasons. My best friend smokes also, but has COPD. So I am trying to get us all off the smokes. I am down to 5 a day from 25 a day and so is hubby. Still working on the friend, as another friend just gave her a carton of smokes. She told me this last nite. I can't get a definite date for her quiting, but she has cut down. I am starting to feel like I am harping at them all the time, even though I still have 5 a day. Getting guilt trip. Maybe I should just concentrate on myself, before we all fail. Well anyways hi all and I hope I can give up the 5 a day soon.

Hello and welcome to ECF! What PV are you using, or looking at? If I were you I would focus on myself and the rest will probably follow. Tried and tried to get my parants to check out vaping with me with no luck, Mom didn't care and Dad would just cough if he tried it. Then a few days ago my Dad asks me how it's working, and mentions how I did this to stop but really kind of replaced it, to which I came back with how I've felt and all the researching I've done. He picked my Ego up, not sure if it's the lower voltage/nic I've been using, or what, but he tasted my chai tea juice and looked me right in the eye and told me "I could do this". Had me order him some gear from my favorite supplier, he had been cutting back on cigs up until now, and after I picked his order up he hasn't touched one lol.

Hi and welcome you should just concentrate on yourself.They will get curious and want to try it out and that probably is better than harping at them.They will get curious and want to try it out.

I kinda had the same situation here. I took right to it right away but hubby just gave it a hit and a miss. I didn't harp. Didn't even tell him how bad the cigs smelled. I just let him work it out. He has now been smoke free for 5 days and is building us a few mods. Hang in there. Hopefully your hubby and friend will see how well it is working for you and will want to give it a good try. BTW Welcome to ECF. You have come to the right place for support.

Nice job on on decreasing the cig intake. I went for 15/day to 5/day and I just started vaping a few days ago

Just keep vaping yourself, the others will follow. Welcome to ECF.

Welcome to ECF! As kmk stated above, work on your vaping and getting yourself off the stinkies. Once you're comfortable with your PV I think you'll find it will be much easier to address smoking with your husband and friend.
