I’m 37 years of age and been a pack a day smoker since I was 18. Over a year ago I had switched over to e-cigs because no matter what I had tried to quit smoking it never worked. I had tried nicotine patches, gums and the classic quit cold turkey method. Needles to say, none of these methods helped. My life literally changed for the better since I had found e-cigs. Since day one of me finding this alternative, I have never smoked a real cigarette. Many of my friends saw what I was doing and jumped on the chance to make a change. We all knew that smoking was bad, but it’s honestly hard to quit. When they noticed a change in my general health, they were curious. They noticed that I would wake up and not cough anymore. My workouts, when exercising, was much more extensive because I seemed to have better lung capacity. That’s because I was feeling the burn in my muscles now and no longer the burn in my lungs which made me stop. When they noticed these kinds of positives, they made the switch. Since making the switch, I have moved down from 21mg of nicotine to 3mg of nicotine in less than a year. This is pretty unheard of when it comes to me. When I was a smoker, it was extremely hard for me to go from a regular strength tobacco to a light cigarette. Eventually I’ll go to a 0mg nicotine or quit completely. I don’t want to be overly dramatic in saying this, but e-cigs has been a God send to me. Many of my friends who started to use e-cigs, because of me, have either completely quit or have reduced their nicotine intake considerably to the point that they can see the finish line to be completely nicotine free. Our lives have been positively impacted with the use of e-cigs.
