January 2nd 2015 was the day I threw away my last pack of cigarettes. I was a 1-2 pack a day smoker. When I finally decided to try quitting again (10th time or so) I almost couldn’t take it. The nicotine withdrawals are harsh. My wife was about to tell me to go pick up a pack, but instead, I picked up a little vape pen I hadn’t used in months. We got it as a novelty, but it got me through. A month after using it, I quit all nicotine for 3 months. I had to change jobs, and at my new job, most of my co-workers smoked. With the stress of moving, changing jobs and a long commute, I was soo tempted to go back to my old stress reliever. Instead I picked up the vape pen. It got me through, when I would have gone back to cigarettes. After a while, the guys at work wanted to know what that was all about. After a few months, all but one of them had quit cigarettes and only vaped, or quit smoking all together. That was over a year and a half ago. The guy that didn’t pick up vaping is the only one that didn’t quit smoking for good. Vaping works. It gets people off of cigarettes.
