After 42 years of smoking and trying all of the NRT products (patches,gum)I just figured I would die a smoker as I just could not whip it. Then my husband told me about the guys who use E cigs at work and would I try them. I said sure but knew it was just another gimmick. Well the joke was on me, I quit completely the very first day and three years later have not had another cigarette nor a desire for one. I started with e cigs using a small battery model 510 with a 12 mg nicotine juice, and absolutely loved it. Over the years new types came out and I moved to larger longer lasting batteries and now use a Reo Mod which just makes it much easier and have dropped nicotine level to 4 and will eventually move to none. My health has improved greatly no longer short of breath, asthma gone and allergies have improved. My sense of smell and taste are much better as well. What’s not to like! I am a nurse and have shared these with many patients who have also quit using the e cig. And most like me can’t believe the are smoke free and feeling better. For the life of me I cannot see any agency, city, wanting to ban, restrict or anything along these lines. They should be added to all stop smoking plans and folks educated about the use of them and many more smokers would become an ex smoker. It is very nice to be able to enjoy the aspects of smoking that I did without the tar, burns in clothing, stinking like an ashtray or being banished to outdoors. Now it is a shame that we have quit and are still being treated as smokers. The last thing I want to do is hang out outside with a bunch of folks who still stink and have not tried these as a method to quit. But every time I am in that situation I let anyone who wishes to try it and help them with information to help them become smoke free.
