I began smoking cigarettes when I was 13 I am now 26years old. Throughout the past 5years I have tried to quit smoking about 25 different times the only time I was successful was when I found out I was pregnant with my beautiful son who is now 2 but my success was short lived just a few short months after giving birth I began smoking cigarettes again. I researched many methods of quitting and found that every single one had horrible side effects and minimal results. I finally came across e-cigarettes and decided to give it a try the first kind I tried were the disposable ones that look like a cigarette after trying about 10 different brands trying to find one that tasted tolerable and satisfied my cravings I ended up hating them all, none of them helped and I was out almost $300. After some time a good friend told me about this e-cigarette that she had gotten and explained that in 1 month she was able to cut back to only 2 cigarettes a day compared to the 15 she normally smoked a day I was curious so she let me try it and to my surprise I liked it , it was larger then the ones I had first tried and she called it a vaporizer and said some called it a mod. I looked around and found that for a good starter kit it was going to be $60, I knew at that point there was no way I could spend that much due to some financial difficulties at the time. Since then I had seen many of my friends start using the mods and most of them had quit smoking cigarettes completely. One day I saw a post on facebook, my cousin in-law had quit smoking by using an e-cigarette, I asked her what kind and sure enough it was the same type my friend had so I began to tell her how I had really wanted one but just couldn’t afford it at that time. A few minutes later she sent me a message saying that one of the women in the North Texas Vapors Facebook group wanted to send me one for free that she no longer used. I was absolutely overjoyed when I received it, all I had to do was purchase the 24mg nicotine strawberry mango flavored juice. I immediately started using it… that was about 2 and a half weeks ago, I am now down to 5 cigarettes a day from the 20 plus I normally smoked on a daily basis and it’s getting easier every day to let go of these awful cigarettes that have plagued me for 13 years. I have had severe asthma for most of my life and I have been on many medications throughout the years to try and control it along with using my rescue inhaler around 5 times a day. I am no longer taking any medications and I only have to use my rescue inhaler once a day. I am absolutely amazed how much this e-cigarette has helped me already, this has truly been a miracle for me I never that that quitting cigarettes would ever be possible and now it’s right around the corner. Within the next couple months I will be able to play with my son for the first time without having an asthma attack:-)
