I truly do not believe I am not a smoker anymore, and I hope I can stay that way for good. The E-Cig has done it for me, and I have learned to vape with better and cheaper products now. I have smoked for over 35 years pretty regularly, and I did try to stop smoking seriously over 20 times, with gum, patches, Chantix, plastic cigarettes, etc. They never could do the trick. Vaping seems natural for me, a smoker to pick up.. And if you buy a product that happens to be fresh and consistent (which was the key for me) it probably will work out. I did try a few gas station varieties, but they were lacking in quality and taste, massed produced, and they were also expensive. I am now smoke free for a month, with almost zero urge for the old smelly cig. I happen to hate that smell now.. I vape with fruity flavors now, and have shied away from the tobacco flavored juices available. My friends welcome me more now, obviously the rank smell is gone. I definitely will not put myself in the smoking areas any more, breathing someone else’s smoke sucks, I am not part of that group anymore. I vape freely, for I have learned that vaping has no consequences to others around me. Merely there old school of thought, that if it looks like smoke, it must be bad is all bad nonsense now. We all need to speak up about vaping, and its positive effects for smokers wanting to kick the cigarette habit. Heck, it is even a fun hobby for a lot us now. I think it saved my life. Julian D.
