I started smoking at the age of 12. I was a 1-2 pack a day Newport Menthol smoker. I quit smoking on my 26th birthday back in April of this year because a friend of mine helped me quit smoking by buying me an Ecig or known by us as a VAPE… Since that day i have not picked up a cigarette and the smell of them makes sick now… I just went to the doctor about a week ago and after the check up he said that my lungs looked amazing that they are healing nicely and that damage is being undone every day i go without smoking which is easy now because i have my Ecig… It is pleasant because I can breathe again I am back at the gym 3-4 days a week and I can breathe normally again. My fiancee loves the Ecig because they make some wonderful flavors that smell amazing and the fact that neither I nor my clothes my breath or my house smell bad anymore. I can also use it in the house and not fear that I am doing horrible damage to my children… I have an app on my smartphone that I use to track progress and since i stopped smoking I have avoided 2122 cigs, I have saved $532 and that is after i figured out how much i spend on Ecig fluid each month, I now have a 29.1% lower chance of heart attack… I have full lung capacity back and my risk for stroke has decreased by 5.8% already… So choosing an ecig to help me quit was the absolute best choice I ever made for myself, my health ,my family and my wallet thanks me too because its much cheaper… I am glad that Ecigs came out and I am not referring to the cheap ones that you get from the gas station I am referring to the quality ones you order online or can get from a local vape shop if you have one available… None of the other methods worked to help me kick my habit but I have successfully done it and the best part is with the Vape that you can gradually wean yourself off of your nicotene dependence and eventually you can get down to 0mg of Nicotene which is where I am but I continue to vape because it keeps me satisfied and it keeps me off of regular cigarettes so I see NO bad coming from it Sincerely.
