@farouk as you may know...I’m a smoker. Wish I wasn’t, but I am. Our daughter quit and now vapes...although it hasn’t helped her quit entirely, she says she feels a lot better with far less symptoms of tar. They do have filters now to remove the tar, the same as vapes.
@VictoryinJesus Thanks a lot for your thoughtful post.
While if you can cut down or even quit cigarettes altogether, great! (and ppl have indeed found that vaping helps a great deal the process of cutting down and even quitting) yet a very good thing to keep coming back to and constantly remembering for you, as a smoking woman, is that you are an adult woman and no one should ever guilt-manipulate you. Huge numbers of adult women happen to smoke. Whether you smoke, whether you cut down or whether you quit: you are an adult woman, period.
Same for your daughter, really, as a vaping woman. No longer a little girl, she's an adult woman. Same, really, with what you said in the past about her being tattooed. It's manifestly a mainstream fact that huge numbers of women happen to be tattooed (and the fact is also that so often the chosen inkings - injectings sought as adults - are in faith or family designs). For parents it can sometimes be hard to "let go" of the little girl that once was, but the plain fact is that, as regards smoking women, vaping women and tattooed women, they are adults. Whether she has tattoos, covers them, gets them changed or even wants more, she is an adult woman, period.
Probably the best thing for smoking women, vaping women, tattooed women (etc.) is — whatever else — as adults, simply to be matter of fact about it.
