My name is Barbara McPherson; I stopped smoking January 7 2013. My brother and sister-in-law started me on my first electronic cigarette. I got my e-cig and have not smoked a cigarette since then. I smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day for 30 years, so I was a little skeptical about this working. I have tried patches, gums, blu e- cig and Chantix, none of these worked for me. The vapor electronic cigarette worked very well. I started with a joytech 650 starter kit, and I do well with it. The benefits of not smoking anymore are tremendous. My taste and smell receptors are alive and kicking no that I don??t smoke anymore. I can breathe so much easier now. I don??t cough all the time anymore. I don??t think I have one negative thing to say about the electronic cigarette. I like it so much and it worked so well for me that I am not part owner of an electronic cigarette store called Let??s Vape in Arlington, Texas.
