How long did you smoke? I smoke 1 pack – 1 1/2 packs per day for the last 30 years. A friend of mine had shown me a vapor product and told me to try it for which I didn’t. However, on December 29th 2012, myself and 2 friends were talking about our NY resolutions and the topic of quiting smoking came about, we agreed that if the vapor store was opened we would give it a try. It was open, we purchased, and 2 of the 3 of us remained Smoke free. The personal vapor with the flavored E-liquids worked and continues to work for me. I have tried a total of 3 cigarettes in the last 6 months and each time I have to run to the bathroom to wash my hands and face. When I started vaping what calmed my desire to smoke was 18 mg of E-liquid so I made myself a plan to start cutting down per bottle until I got to 0 nicotine. it was a process I did for myself and also with my friends and family who wanted to become smokefree. At this point I love the vaping experience but I remain at 0 mg of different flavore(Cortadito/ Strawberry / Orange Ice with the occasional 11 mg of tobacco. my success and the success of my friends and family motivated me to share my experience, strength and hope with many people and that is why we opened up Happy Vapor Shops in Florida. We strive to be center and resource to others to live a smokefree life, whether through vaping or not, each experience is a choice everyone had to make for themselves and I am here to cheer them on along the way. I had a very shortlived experience with the patch, provided by a state runned program and was too scared to try Chantix as I heard varying stories from it so I didn’t succeed not even 1/2 day. December 2012 I went through and cancer scare and my blood pressure rose to 150/90(very high for me) June 2013 my blood pressure is 100/70(best ever) I started smoking when I was 12, so I never knew anything else. My white blood cells are almost back into normal range(always high because of smoking) and I just went into remission again of my hyperthyroidism, my productivity at work increase 30% and I realized I save 2500.00 per year and 31 days- 1 month of my year for a better quality of life. My life is the best ever and I look forward to the stories we will continue to hear as this way of life touches more indiviuals and the ripples of friends and family that had been affected. Thank you God!!!
