The oldest convert...

[tigerlilly]

All I can say is...she's my mum.  81 this year. An avid smoker (drinks like a fish too, bless her - Ginger wine, no less, but preferably mixed with a bit of Famous Grouse!! ) and now an avid vaper...Yes, she's had breast cancer, yes, she's a diabetic, and yes she's asthmatic. And yes, she's cut down from 25 cigs per day to 10 using her evo...Is she happy?  You bet. We're off shopping next week.  Going to NEXT so she can get some new clothes. She rather fancies a jump-suit! 


A side note: I'm so proud of her. She's had a rough time with my dad.  He was a git, but she was sure and faithful.  She looked after him. He abused her. She fought to get him the best care...and he abused her. She hasn't really lived becuase of his bullying ways and keeping her down - sad. I hated him...Thank God he died in January. She's found her feet, her freedom and her love of vaping and she feels free. I love her dearly and she is an absolute trooper and makes me laugh. She doesn't look 80 and she doesn't act 80. She's what I aspire to be...  She likes RED batteries, cos they show her true colours...er, right! And she loves 24mg tobacco, thank you. Next week she reckons she's cutting to 5 a day. And do you know what? I think she will.  She's a star. I'm proud.   She's also kind, thoughtful and generous. My dad was never any of those things. She's held firm and strong - now she deserves to live a bit. She loves vaping...she also loves a bit of the funny stuff too, but should I mention that?  :DIt's my son's fault!!

good on her and long may it continue and if she still likes a bit of the old funny stuff long may that continue as well

tigerlilly - fantastic news, do pass on to your mum our regards and tell her that we would love to know how she is getting on. I'm sure there's a Silver Surfer around with a bit of Shiny to show her - Raffles!!?

Just goes to show, no matter how many years you have smoked stinkies you can convert to vaping.......

Well done tigerlilly's mum
