I smoked for 18 years. A pack to a pack and a half a day. When i was introduced to the electronic vaping product, i purchased one. At the time i smoked and vaped for a few months at the same time. One night i decided to to give vaping a true try so i placed what i had left of my pack of cigarettes in the fridge. I set my phone calendar for 1 week. The first few days was a little rough, but the vaping helped. After those few days i kind of forgot about smoking and just continued to vape. After the week was up, my alarm on my phone went off. So i went to my fridge, grabbed the pack of cigarettes, and went out into my backyard. I took out a cigarette, sparked it up, took one big drag, and flicked the cigarette into my pool. The taste was beyond foul and i thought to myself What the hell did i ever see in those damn things?. I then walked into my house and threw the rest of the pack away. That was 4 years ago, and i haven’t touched a cigarette since that day 4 YEARS AGO!!!!!!! I tried the patch, gum, cold turkey, but to no avail. The only thing that worked was the electronic cigarette. I pretty much use rebuild-able dripping atomizers and i vape a very low strength of nicotine. Because of vaping products, i breath better, i sleep better, i can run and climb stairs without being winded, i and my house and car don’t smell of cigarettes. These vaping products are a GOD SEND!!!!!! I have had no negative effects from vaping. Being a person who works in the vaping industry now, i can personally say that vaping truly does save lives, because it really did save mine.
