Well, you could try a heart to heart that we females are so fond of, explaining that this is a step toward quitting everything that will help you taper off the nic and maintain sanity.
Or, you can go cold turkey. Within 24 hours, I would be willing to bet she would be begging you to vape. The first time I tried to quit smoking I thought I wasn't addicted to the nic and went cold turkey. Within a day I was completely psychotic, screaming at hubby for breathing the wrong way. He was begging me to get any nic I could into my system. (Poor hubby.)
I'm lucky, my never a smoker hubby is very supportive of my vaping. He has seen me go through countless attempts to quit using everything out there except chantix and hypnosis, and he is just happy that I don't smell like an ash tray any more.
This.... On my last unsuccessful attempt to quit smoking, before i was introduced to vaping, after 2 days the wife came home with a pack of stinkys and told me that she couldn't stand the crabby/grouchy me any longer. haha
erichill78, every time i see a post from you with your pick i laugh to myself and want to post "simpsons already did that" I don't even know if that's the correct character, but that's what i think of. hahaha

Then my job is done friend. Lolz.
Only two?...cool. Curious what you think they are. Been married 15 years and dated since jr high...neither of us holds anything back which is what works for us. She's really not happy about this though and I can't get through to her. I'm just awe struck that going 100% to vaping on day one almost a month ago isn't considered a huge achievement by her. It's frankly a big disappointment that she's not only as proud of me as I am, but the polar opposite of calling me plain stupid. That is what I love about her though, she's always been strong willed and independent. I don't do it in front of the kids or even in front of her for that matter knowing she doesn't approve. I just don't know what to do, I'm not going to go back to smoking and I think giving up vaping would result in some nastiness right now. My intentions are to quit everything, but after 20 years I don't think a timeline of 90 days is too much to ask.
I would just like to clarify my last post by adding that the affore mentioned actions took place in the early years of our marriage so we've been good for many years (at least on this subject). I would also like to add that despite our diffences I truly and deeply love my wife. We've been married for 29 years now and i can honestly say I love her now more than when we we're married and I love her more every day. but it did take some work to get to this point.
Well, from your first post, I would not be happy being so disrespected. If your marriage works the way it is, that's great. Just didn't sound that way from what you wrote.
I have heard this question posed before and it must really suck dude. My girlfriend is crazy supportive of me quitting cigarettes. She didn't like me starting with a Provari but in another month I will break even which is just the start of a long road to savings both physically and financially. Really lay down then umbers with her, and let her know that this is not easy. Vaping is at the very least a reduced harm alternative, which is a blessing on it's own. I say if worst comes to worst just keep vaping but keep it cheap. Good luck my friend!
LOL it doesn't sound to me like you have marriage problems just good old fashion not beating around the bush, which is how it should be, I think..
Mm, Tell her quitting smoking is like ending a relationship, it takes half as many years as you smoked to truly quit the nicotene completely, thats why ex smokers keep becoming smokers again. You need ten years of lowering your nicotine intake to finally completely be not just an ex smoker, but nicotene free. If she takes your nicotene away before you have that chance you will be a miserable ..., you can't help it, and who are you going to be yelling at if that happens, over nothing... her and the kid of course, not because you want to or plan to but because you wouldn't be able to control it... Patches, drugs and gum do not work well for that, you would need to many of them to keep your nicotene level up and that would end up costing her twice as much, in which case you could of just kept smoking for the same price or less. Good luck!

Well if your other half doesn't get it, they just don't get it. Do what is best for you, that is what I do I used to get vaping ridicule here and there, like just quit, why do people need all these crutches, yadda yadda. I said I love vaping, I am doing it and it is way better than smoking. End of story! LOL bnrk

Never tried this but give it a shot, when she starts yelling at you, hold your breath until you pass out
Or perhaps simply drop your pants and take a poop in the living room.Never tried this but give it a shot, when she starts yelling at you, hold your breath until you pass out
A move like that has a tendency to make people see things in a different light.
Buy a pack of cigarettes. The next time she says something drop the ecig in a garbage can and fire old stinky up right there. Then ask her if she's happy now.
And I am completely serious because she may not realize it but that's what she's asking for.

I'm glad I pick up sarcasm well lol. I kind of agree with Myk and a few others. I kind of know how it feels not having others support you cause they still see the habit. Bring something to mouth, it burn, you inhale and exhale and bam back to square one with people. They see just that exact act and most immediately think, it's smoking and it's bad.
We've been conditioned, especially recently in our society that this form of habit is bad and not accepted. They don't stop to think what's different between the two. All they see is a habit that costs money and is bad for you.
I'd ask her to calmly talk about this, gather and do your research on the subjects even on nicotine healths ect and lay it out for her with some solid info, then say something to the accord of, "*Insert wife's name here* I am doing this so I stop taking in 4,000+ harmful chemicals into my body and harm others and switching out for 5 or so chemicals people use on a daily basis. I am making the conscious decision to better my health and the one's around me and try to not go insane. I just ask that you support me in this decision please."
Or ya know something along all that mumbo jumbo.

I'm just curious. Does the wife have any addictions of her own? Shopping, eating, . . . . ?
