I've been trying to get my mom to quit since I was a kid. Bought her a few different e cig containers and juices to try the last couple of years, but she wouldn't give it a real try, would only use them in the car w/me or others but still wanted to smoke outside or in her house. My grandmother, her mother, was a serious chain smoker too and even after she got COPD and other illnesses, she kept smoking, hiding it from her husband and others, but she'd get caught all of the time. I try to use her ill health and early death as a motivator for my mom, but it's still not enough for her! She finally told me a couple of weeks ago she's really going to try to quit and bought some Chantex too, but then was back tracking on that, saying she's not sure she should take it cuz of all of the bad side effects she heard about. I said, well it's no different than the dozens of side effects all of your dozens of pills you take daily have. Might as well give it a try, anything that will get her off smoking! It's so nasty and she smokes in the house too, so I keep telling her she's giving the rest of us including her beloved pets lung cancer indirectly. I'm hoping this time, as she's turning 60 tomorrow, she'll really give it a try, but seeing her and her mother's history I have very little hope. I'm scared one day she's going to come home from the doctor's and say she has some type of cancer. :(
