I will tell you that my husband and I just recently quit...my husband stopped first by vaping and stepping down. I just recently started vaping and stepping myself down as well. It does make it easier because I have tried many times to quit cold-turkey and it was unbelievably difficult. It can be very hard for someone to quit, they have to really want to and they also have to understand that it will affect them and that it's only a matter of time. Good luck and I hope they listen to their incredibly bright child!!!
