[quote=Anonymous]My DD has respiratory issues and this was a hill I felt I needed to die on, whether it be cigarettes or vaping. However, she could see up close and personal the damage long-time smoking can have as my mother smoked for decades and has chronic sinus issues, a cough, and significant wrinkles for a woman her age. I also told DD about the time I recall coming home from school one day and my mother was crying because she was trying to quit cold turkey and was so addicted. The pediatrician has had lengthy talks with DD. We give her scientific information and point her to the latest research as well as give her personal anecdotes from our experience. When younger, we role played scenarios where she was offered cigarettes or vapes and helped her come up with ways to decline and get out of the situation. Hopefully some of these tactics may help.[/quote]
