Grandma Sick of Grandpa's Vaping Habit
Dear Abby | March 7th, 2026 | Letter 2 of 3
DEAR ABBY: My husband vapes in our home, and I have run out of ways to get it through his thick skull that this is unhealthy, not only for his health, but for mine. Even more upsetting is that he vapes when our grandchildren are here and when he drives them in his truck. I have printed reliable scientific information for him, yet his response is always, I know, I'm sorry, I need to stop. It's been seven years, so that's how sincere his response is. He just continues trying to hide what he's doing. I'm not wealthy enough to pack his bags and change the locks. But maybe someone will read this and smarten up before they damage their loved ones' health. Do you have any advice? -- THINKING ABOUT MY GRANDS.
DEAR THINKING: I do, actually. You imply that your husband is addicted to nicotine, which is why he is vaping. Tell him that you will quit nagging him about it on one condition: that when he vapes, he must step outside to do it, which will ensure that you are not affected by it. As to his vaping with the grands in the vehicle, how do their parents feel about it? Do they realize what Gramps is doing? Your next step should be to make sure they know exactly what is going on so they can put a stop to it.
