I smoked cigarettes for approximately ten years before I discovered electronic cigarettes. I initially used e-liquid in the range of 36 mg strength. After some false starts, I successfully quit smoking for a year, followed by a brief lapse, then successfully again for the better part of a year. Initially I attempted to just curb how many cigarettes I smoked (two packs a day at the start), but gradually came to prefer electronic cigarettes for the most part. I had used patches and chewing tobacco in the past and neither ever served as a suitable substitute. Since quitting I now breathe easier, can go for a job or other exercise(previously pretty much a non-option) and no longer wake up unable to breathe. There were mornings as a smoker when my chest was tight from the previous night’s smoking. All of that is an element of the past. I strongly value my electronic cigarette, which I now vape at 3mg strength. I may quit some day, and I may not. But the positives of quitting smoking, in my estimation, make themselves apparent every day. I have my lungs back, thanks to e-cigs.
