@JamesBugman those are banned in Canada. Also i should mentions he id a diabetic.

@TeaUrchin Oh come-on, work with me here.. How can we fix this? Vape? I dunno, buy some hollow tubes or something? Is there such a thing as an AI cigarette? or EV or something?

@JamesBugman I tried to get him to vape. That is how i found out he never draws it in(or whatever it is called). He told the kids at the shop that their recommendations are not valid until they are as old as him.

I tried to get him to use patches no go.

Tried counselling (he went on his own). I think the counsellor started to smoke again

Tried hypnotism (he went on his own. They found his will too strong)

He was never much of a snacker and his dentures always hurt so carrots sticks, with diabetes he tried sugarless candy...nope

He describes like its a love affair. He watched all the old Hollywood black and white movies and old smoking ads. He is willing to ignore his family (mom-copd, me asthma)/friends, to starve and to give away his money just to keep smoking. He refuses to let go.

A person like that that you cant change. I've given up. Ive chosen to mitigate, and remind him constantly. I recently discussed cleaning his bathroom (my house). It came out to 3k cad. He was very angry taking it out on me...then it stopped.


I have no ideas unless voodoo works?

@KingofBones1 its a weird house. It was a one bedroom initial with the kitchen off the back door. The they added an addition to include a larger kitchen and master bedroom. And for added spice, the added garage on either side with a hallway. Then a extension was built upwards going over everything. Bathrooms normally have windows. The 5 in this building do not.

I'll look into a small filter and advise of what kind

@TeaUrchin look into things like Sharper Image and Bushnell they make good ones they are a little pricey but they usually work fairly decent that is definitely a different house indeed

@Softandsweet2 its a small bathroom. Ill see if the mske smaller ones

@TeaUrchin I understand. I'm afraid I cannot see where that recommended one is made.

@Bowenw no worries, ill trace it. This is a good start

@TeaUrchin Check out this site:

The manufacturer of the one that is highly recommended has others that show as made in Canada, so they may all be.

@ChipmunkErnie thank you. I research this. I need electrical work to plug in

@TeaUrchin Just a regular wall plug.

@wildbill83 it is a high end one, and it still isnt enough

@Wiseacre i really could go on about his love of cigarettes, his heart attacks strokes and infections. But i wont. He us selfish. It this point i can only confine him to the bathroom or outside.
