My wife is a non smoker. Talked to me about quitting but never pushed it. When I spoke to her about vaping she was very supportive and to this day is always asking if I need to buy this or that. New product comes out and she wants me to buy it. The reason she is so supportive is because she is well aware of the health related issues- chronic respiratory disease, Lung Cancer, etc. It might be a good idea to get an Xray of your lungs and show her the damage.

So, I started vaping on Monday and I am loving it. The only problem is that my girl isn't to keen on it. I had talked about quitting when semester was over for about 2 months before school got out. Well, last day of finals, I smoked my last (or what I believed to be my last) cig, and threw the remaining 1/2 pack out the window of my truck. Fast forward 6 weeks, some things happen and in my ...... off state, I pick up a pack of cigs. And then I couldn't stop again. I have been smoking all summer w/o her knowing (she has been in Germany since the end of June for school). She knows that I had planned on smoking while I drink, and when I mentioned in passing to her my ecig when we were skyping, she was completely against it, saying that I said I was gonna quit and I might as well just smoke a regular cig.
Anyone have any advice/experience dealing with someone like this? I would think she would like it more bc I wouldn't have all of the chemical from a normal cig, plus since she didn't grow up around cigs like I did, she is EXTREMELY sensitive to them. Like if I smoke 1 cig when she is standing by me she gets a head ache kind of sensitive.
