I tell him it's not healthy you could get sick I give him cigerarettes. There are just timed and when he goes outside, I'm always with him. He'll try to pick one up I tell him that's been in someone's mouth and that it's nasty and can make him sick. 🤢
And continue to let him smoke, for petesake. With dementia at play, extending their lives is not the goal. Only to make them happy and give them what they enjoy.
Best of luck.
