My DH has struggled with tobacco addiction since his teens. He's managed to avoid smoking by using nicorette lozenges for the past 10 years. I wasn't happy with that, it seemed so long term, and was so expensive, but vastly preferable to cigarettes. Now he's switched to e-cigarettes, that freaks me out and I don't want our son growing up seeing daddy ”smoking”! He says he won't do it in front of him, but I think kids are perceptive...what do you think??

That seems like back-sliding to me. He's gone so long without smoking… why not just fully transition from nicotine?

It scares me that there is a lot of unknown with e-cigs however, my DH quit smoking the day LO was born and has been using them. I have to pick my battles and the fact that he isn't smoking, doesn't smell, and doesn't have to worry about interacting with LO after smoking (on clothes, hands, etc), keeps me happy.
I am hopeful he will wean off of them but I know at the moment he doesn't have the desire to and if there's something I know better than anything....you can't make a person do what they don't have the internal motivation to do.
ETA: I agree with mae, it does seem like a backslide...maybe that's why my perspective is different?

I think that is what's bothering me, the back sliding. I have to pick my battles, but I just don't want LO to see what looks like smoking.
