I am a 48 yr old man who has been smoking since I was 14. In my mid thirties I tried various methods to try and quit. I use nicotine patches, nicotine inhaler and nicotine gum. I was unsuccessful in all of these quit attempts. 2 years ago my health was being to be affected as my breathing became worse and I was getting more and more respiratory infections. I knew I had to do something to stop. I tried smoke free tobacco (Copenhagen). I was really surprised at how much nicotine it delivered and after 6 months I had quit smoking completely. The last 18 months have been a new lease on life for me as I feel very healthy and have a lot more energy and sleep better at night. It has really improved the quality of my life. Maybe I won’t live any longer than I would had I continued to smoke but my quality of like will be so much better. The one complaint I have is the government taxes a lower risk tobacco product as much as cigarettes. This could be a huge deterrent to others who may want to try to quit using a smoke free alternative.
