    http://www.Provape.com

    I have the ProVari version and the BF has the regular Provape model.

    Not nearly as annoying as some of the other e-cigs out there. They run off of high voltage batteries, not USB charge, which can get annoying. Just buy enough batteries to make sure you always have a charged one. There's no stink, no risk of dropping embers anywhere, and it's better for you... not as good as quitting entirely, but definitely better.

    I think these are the best e-cigs on the market right now, and it did help me quit for several months before.

    I will never bug anyone about quitting smoking.

    I have never smoked (a couple times in University, but never became a habit), but my parents smoked all the time I was growing up. and they used to both smoke in the house.

    When I moved out I went from a totally smoked soaked environment, to a smoke free environment. I stated University in September of that year, and by November, I was craving a cigarette. Remember, I had never had a smoking habit growing up. So if a total non-smoker can have nicotine cravings just because she's no inhaling second hand smoke I can soooooooo empathize with smokers who are finding it very difficult to quit. Or quit and start again.

    Nope, Not me. I will never get on anyone's case for smoking.

    Have you checked his browser history lately? I bet he's looking at internet porn too.
    I would check his text messages too!

    Don't forgot to check his email too. Sometimes they make a separate email just for their naughty business, so be on the lookout.

    i wouldnt be upset that he back slid, rather that he hid it from u....ppl are gonna have bad habits but part of being married is being able to tell the other person what ure struggling with so you can fix it, together. hiding it just shows how immature he is, and that he knows he's screwing up

    Tell him to smoke outside and quit stinking up the house. It travels and everyone who comes over ends up leaving smelling like an ashtray. Gross.

    Why don't you figure out why he is smoking? Smoking relapses typically occur due to stress. What's causing stress for him?

    Men need their secret lives and naughty adventures. Most of them never grow out of that adolescent skipping-school and hiding-girlie-mags-under-the-bed stage. Smoking in the basement is unhealthy, sure, but it serves two purposes

    it feeds a physical addiction

    it gives that naughty little "breakiing the rules" thrill

    If I caught my man doing something so silly, i'd have a blast "almost" catching him every time. He'd love the adrenaline rush.

    Yeah sure, men need something to call 'their own', but smoking probably isn't the best option, ya know, due to the 5 million people who die each year from it?...

    Don't make him feel bad about it, he had a slip up, which is expected when quitting smoking. Just tell him you understand how hard it is to quit, you're so proud of him for trying, and you're going to support him along the way.

    Just don't nag.. my boyfriend nagged me when I was a smoker so a couple times when I tried to quit and we would get into a fight, I'd start smoking again just to spite him.

    Did he REALLY want to stop...or did he just try to do it to support you or because its what you wanted. Ask him, and support him in his decision.

    I think you should let him know how you feel about it everyday until he stops. Not directly, but by doing little things like letting out big sighs at random times and withholding sex.

    He'll change in no time.

    I disagree with trying to manipulate him into changing. He will stop if an when he is ready, but have a talk with him.

    The better question is why aren't you smoking? All the cool kids are doing it!

    Here's the real thing: marriage is based on trust. Once trust is broken, it's very hard to rebuild it back up. Hiding things from your spouse is lying and even cheating, in a sense. If he feels that he must go to the basement to smoke and hide it from you, then there is something very wrong. There must be absolute trust in a marriage or it won't work... if I caught my husband doing ANYTHING behind my back, I could never trust him again. My husband and I share everything, every dirty little secret, even the ones that embarrass us to death! We are accepting of each other and don't judge each other for what we think or do. He has been there to watch me on this weight loss journey... I never once lied about when I was eating a cookie.... I didn't go hide and eat it... I ate it right there in front of him. He would just look at me and say "it's your choice what you do to your body". Non-judgemental... and he was there to help me get over the guilt and get back on the wagon. I'm sorry, but I think that if you're husband is hiding something, then you need to sit down and have a long conversation with him about what is causing him to hide his behavior. It could be that he's ashamed of himself, or it could be that he is afraid you will judge him. Whatever the reason, there is NEVER an excuse to sneak around behind your spouse's back.

    Support your man. It's an addiction. Tell him how much he means to you and you want him around!

    One more thing: checking his browser, his wallet, his phone, and going through his things is wrong... it violates his privacy and will make him distrust you. Besides, if you do these things, he will just find a better way to hide things. You must address the real issue at hand, not just try and "catch" him to get him to stop. He'll just become a better liar.

    My husband and I quit smoking 2 years ago this month.

    For the last 3 weeks I've had my suspicions he was smoking again. So this morning (which happens to be his birthday) I come downstairs and he's not in the house at 7am so I went looking for him and sure enough if I didn't find him in the basement smoking.

    Any thoughts?

    Maybe he was just holding it for a friend.

    Talk to him!

    He's obviously struggling and needs some more support!
