Today is July 31, 2013 and I haven’t had a cigarette in 43 days. I’m 36 years old and have smoked approximately a pack a day for 18 years. Of course I’m not going to promise I won’t smoke tomorrow, but I certainly don’t plan to. I started with a disposable e cigarette to see if the concept of vaping might work for me. I didn’t care for the taste, but could see the potential of replacing smoking with vaping. I ordered a starter kit online that included a basic model refillable e cigarette that looked much like an actual cigarette. The last time I smoked was while I was waiting for the batteries to charge. It certainly hasn’t been easy and I have since moved on to a larger device that has a longer battery life and have found a few e liquid flavors that I enjoy. It has only been about six weeks, but I think of myself now as a former smoker. Thanks for your time, Rodjar
