We walked through one that had been owned by a smoker obviously. Hubby was sickened by the smell and promised never to smoke in ours. 5yrs and 3 Rvs later he has kept his promise. <br /><br />Take your wife to used ones checking them out and she might do the same. <br />Good luck.<br />DianeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033849358413562566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-58156118746749849662014-05-17T17:36:38.069-07:002014-05-17T17:36:38.069-07:00Very sorry for your loss, Ellen, but thank you for...Very sorry for your loss, Ellen, but thank you for your very personal and very important message. Maybe it will help save someone's life. Both of my grandfathers literally smoked themselves to death--one from lung cancer and one from emphysema. Even after being diagnosed they refused to quit smoking and both died way too young.

My father quit -- but only after he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. The cancer metastasized to his brain and he had to have brain surgery just to restore his normal function (he'd been behaving as if he had Alzheimer's or dementia). We made him quit. We cleaned the house, destroyed his cigs, refused to buy them for him. He was recovering from surgery, and had no choice but to chew the Nicorette we got for him. At first I felt guilty, but he became the proudest non-smoker I've ever known. He would ask us to bring neighborhood kids in when he saw them smoking, then show them the ragged scar along the top of his head and say, "This could happen to you!" He died soon after, much before his time. <br /><br />If she keeps smoking, she'll likely die a miserable, lengthy, painful death, breaking the hearts of everyone who loves her. <br /><br />You might choose not to publish this comment as it is so graphic, but it's real. It's the side of smoking that no one seems to want to talk about.<br /><br />Forget e-cigs and vapor things and all that. They actually have MORE nicotine in them than tobacco cigs. It's not an answer, it's an excuse.<br /><br />Mrs. Butting Heads can show her courage (she has it) and strength (she has that too, especially if she has children) by quitting. Otherwise, it's all just an excuse.<br /><br />I wish this couple well. It's not an easy problem to face, but face it you must. Good luck to them!Ellenhttp://bobandellen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-85089022958868892292014-05-17T12:18:51.642-07:002014-05-17T12:18:51.642-07:00I would never buy an RV that had been smoked in, ...I would never buy an RV that had been smoked in, and I think more and more people feel the same way I do! It's hard to quit any addiction, but well worth the effort. She has to WANT to quit, though, if it's going to work. Maybe there's something you can think of that she really wants to help with incentive.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870126042489410883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-24741933247289570702014-05-17T12:16:14.159-07:002014-05-17T12:16:14.159-07:00E-cigarettes is the answer!

And nix on the electronics cigs. Why trade one bad, dirty habit for another one. And that's all it is...a habit. She is not willing to give up a habit. The body's "need" for the nicotine goes away within a week; the rest is just plain habit.<br /><br />I second the vote for no smoking in the rig!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850652397085824819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-19936962028151669322014-05-17T10:38:55.901-07:002014-05-17T10:38:55.901-07:00Smoking today is so yuck, most people have quit. ...Smoking today is so yuck, most people have quit. New laws even prohibit its use outdoors too, like in public parks, on city streets. Where you gonna smoke.
