For my Dad

After the sudden death of my mother-in-law because of cancer, my husband and I became more health conscious. Our kids are still young and so we can’t afford to get sick as our ultimate dream is to watch them grow and even have their own family.

But now I am worried too about my dad because I must say that he is a chain smoker. We tried everything that we can to convince him to quit. I even used my daughter to black mail my dad so he will stop smoking. But since it is part of his system already, I know it will be difficult for him to quit just like that. He needs to do it slowly so his body will not be shocked too of the sudden withdrawal from cigarettes.

One of the options that we thought of is letting him use one of those electronic cigarettes. It is a healthier option as it has no nicotine and it even has a flavor so he can smoke all he wants without hurting his lungs. Then slowly he can start his withdrawal from using the real cigarette.

It will really be a great challenge for us to convince our dad to stop smoking as he can really be stubborn sometimes especially when we are talking about his health. But we will really do all that we can to make him stop as we also wish for him to see his grand children grow.
