Husband smoked since 11, so 59 years, no way can he quit, the vaping doesn't go well with him either, although he tries.... The smoking police should butt out. His choice. As he says, smokes should be free for pensioners, save on heaps of costs later	piroska (17583)
1454393	2018-10-14 06:23:00	I don't care if anyone smokes, as long as they are not in my house or sitting next to me but of course your husband can quit. If he doesn't want to that's his choice, all I'm saying is the possibility exists. Not sure I get the point of switching from one habit to the other though unless vaping is cheaper? I guess it doesn't leave butts to deal with. My Dad smoked for something like 35+ years, then had a health scare and quit immediately. It comes down to motivation I guess. It's going on for 18 years now and He's never shown any signs of going back or regretting the change. I don't want to come across all preachy though, almost deleted this whole post (I do that a bit when I read them back to myself at times, many posts never made it on to the forum). I am an advocate of personal choice as long as it's not negatively impacting others significantly. I can kind of understand something being hard to give up, but I guess a fundamental difference I have with smokers is I could never understand what the attraction was to start in the first place. I am apparently a statistical rarity, in a family of 8 (6 kids, 2 parents) I'm the only one who never smoked, ever. I always found it disgusting as a kid, would constantly complain to my parents when they smoked near me, and hated my turn at collecting and emptying the ashtrays. The worst though was washing them, they would be put in the pile with the dishes and I hated even touching them and had to wash them last as I couldn't bear the thought of them touching the same water as something I ate of. Maybe it's aversion therapy in action, or maybe I just have some natural aversion to smoke.	dugimodo (138)

I have drunk alcohol before, just went off it .. .. but I certainly wouldn't say to someone who struggles with alchol, oh you can quit, I did, it's just if you want to. Smoking is the same. It's an addiction. Some quit without much bother, others do not. That is partly genetic, and partly how much/how long you smoked etc. You can't assume it's easy because you did not, or found it easy. Yes it is about cost. vaping costs him with the gadgets he uses $25 a week to 10 days. As opposed to $22 a pack of 20 cigarettes. Which would last a day if he could. My vape mix worked out at about $2 a week, as I make my own. So being forced because of cost doesn't help - it's a form of nagging and nagging does not work. It needs to happen in your head first. And it hasn't.	piroska (17583)
1454397	2018-10-14 20:06:00	Yes - Nicotine is a drug. Quitting is all in your head. When you are ready, you will quit.	Zippity (58)
1454398	2018-10-15 03:36:00	i saw a long haired dude vaping away walking past my home. Hard to know if he was blasting a illicit drug like P or some other mind altering concoction.	kahawai chaser (3545)
1454399	2018-10-15 03:51:00	Smoking, somehow not OK, so tax the frig out of them & make smokers the modern day equiv of lepers . Eating yourself to death . Somehow thats OK , and a longer more expensive drain on the NZ health system . Boozing to the extent under 30's have liver damage , yep look the other way . Cant hammer booze with tax to the same extent, not in NZ . Smokers though . . . . . . . . . .	1101 (13337)
