I had been a smoker for approximately 12 years. About a year ago a local store had opened in my area that sparked my interest of another alternative to smoking. I had purchased a e CIG kit and had many trial and errors trying to figure out proper balances in the e liquid and even equipment. I had compared pricing between this alternative to regular cigarette costs and it was a no brainer which would be cheaper. It started out as a way to save money for me until I started seeing the benefits to not smoking anymore. I was being driven to work to pay for a disgusting habit, feening for smoke breaks at work. Destroying my house with nicotine stains, and self conscious about the way I smelled around others. E cigarettes have changed my lifestyle for the better. My family is happy, I’m happy and I have extra money to do the things I love to do. I find it completely ridiculous that some states have already banned the sale of them, other states are trying to limit where they can be used. I think it is a wonderful invention that has changed the lives of so many. Big tobacco companies are hurt and impacted greatly by a reduction in sales but they didn’t care whose family member, brother, sister, etc. They were killing. I hope e cigarettes are the new wave of the future!
