Hey guys,

Well, on Sunday we went on our weekly trip to get analogs (I just can't get my wife to take the leap to the VK. At least it was only one carton instead of 2!!). My wife was a little under the weather, so she stayed home and my 3 year old son and I went to get smokes for her and to the playground for a while. He got his usual (M&M's), and I opted for a candy bar, but when I asked him what we should get Mama, he said, and I quote:

"Since Mama still smokes real cigarettes, she don't get any candy."

Intrigued by his line of reasoning (and after a stifled chuckle), I asked him "What about Daddy? Do I get any candy?"

Again quoting:

"You smoke those fake cigarettes, so you can get some!" No chuckling this time; It was full blown laughter!

Of course, when I got the VK, and he wanted to know what the boxes, batteries, cartomizers, chargers, etc., etc. were, I explained (as best as I could to a 3 year old) what everything was, what it was for, and to NEVER, EVER touch any of it.

Now this was a couple of weeks ago, but I can't for the life of me recall using the words "fake cigarette". Isn't it interesting how kids put these things together?!

Anyway, I thought maybe everyone could use an extra smile this evening. I say "extra" because we're all Smilin already! Thanks Vapor4Life for a week-and-a-half analog free and counting!!!!

Awww...kids are soooo amazingly cute and smart. I love that age!!!

CONGRATS on your first week and a half!!! Amazing, isn't it?

I love the fact that you are going out to buy your wifes analogs...no pressure, no worries...we all arrive at this life changing point at our own speed.

That being said...has she checked out this forum...can we tempt her with a cherry vanilla coke (my latest refill combo...heavenly)

Enjoy each second with your boy...believe it or not, they really do grow up too fast :)

Thank you! She does read the forum, and she does vape some, she's just not hooked yet! As far as growing up fast......I'm seeing that already!!

Thank you all,
Tom

Phoenix, has he tried the menthols? I was NEVER a menthol smoker, but, these are so completely awesome...they have become my go to NIC FIT BUSTER!
Each at his/her own speed...vaping works its magic :)

I hear it is good, but neither of us is really in to menthol. I may give it a go sometime. Don't tell anyone but he has developed a love for Pineapple. Apparently he loses Former Marine Man points for admitting this, so keep it our little secret ok?:D

Zztommis, big congrats on quitting the analogs. Maybe your wife needs a higher or lower nic strength? But sometimes it's just the "idea" of not getting a cig that keeps some people smoking. I know all the times I tried to quit with patches, gum, or lozengez, I had intense cravings pretty much from the moment I started (purely psychological since it started way before the physical withdrawal).

It's amazing how smart kids really are, even at 3! They pick up things really fast; honestly, we don't give them enough credit for their deductive reasoning abilities. Sounds like yours is really, really smart, so does he take after you or the Mrs.? ;)

Got to love the little kids they say the darnest thiings! they can bring a smile on the gloomist day and brighten your whole world! They do grow up too fast

Tracy I agree I hated menthols until the VK now it is much differnt without all that smoke to get in the way it feels clean and crisp like mint chewing gum :)

I don't like kids. You spend the first couple years teaching them how to talk and walk then you spend the next 20 something years telling them to sit down and shut up. Seems counterproductive.



LOL!!! I laughed for a long time after reading this. Thank you. Between me and the Mrs. we have 5 girls and sometimes that is exactly what it seems like. :lol:
