Stubborn family members

[JLeigh]

*Sigh* I can't figure out why I can't get two of my siblings to switch over to vaping. They can see how much I love it; they know it has completely replaced smoking for me; they always want to try whatever it is I'm vaping, but they just.won't.take.the.plunge. I'd like to get them each a PT kit for Christmas, but I'd hate to have them go to waste if they don't use them.


Off-topic: why am I seeing other vendor's ads in this V4L forum beneath every post? Seems a bit odd.....

I'd get them one anyway. It may go to waste, but then again it may not. Worth the risk.

How old are they? Young people do not think about the health effects of smoking. When they get older and are diagnosed with COPD, they will probably beg for one.

One is 29 and one is 35.

Give 'em about 10 more years, but keep trying in the meantime. They may surprise you and take you up on it!

You might want to get them a kit. With my mom I went over one day and showed her how to use every thing. I left her with enough supplies to get her started. It sat for weeks then one day she picked it up and fell in love. She asked me to order her a kit and is now a smiling vapor.

Perhaps the perfect gift would be that you simply tell them that if they should ever decide to give it a try...you have a standing offer to purchase their first kit...if they would like you to OR you will be happy to give them the updated, current for whenever this may occur, info on some excellent suppliers you have used.
Then, that is all. Let it be. I think about loving people who "talked" to me about quitting analogs for years. Is this really any different than what you have been doing? When they are ready, if ever, they will find their way. Meanwhile, because of your choices to let go of analogs, they have the example of what it can look like to take charge of your personal well-being...no matter what other family/friends are doing.
What a great parent!!!!

What have I been doing?

Yes, I may do that.

I ordered my 2 nieces one yest. I know they can't afford them, and I don't want them to end up with the lung problems that is so evident in my family. (not that I can, but probably a little easier for me)
