I started smoking at eight years old. I am twenty-five now and had been a smoker for seventeen years. I have tried different ways to quit in the past such as gums and patches. While these did help curb the craving for nicotene slightly they still left you craving the habbit. I was a pack and a half a day smoker when a freind of mine told me about his experience with e-cigs. He smoked about as much as I did and had been three days without a ciggerette and wasn’t having mood swings or anything that you go through while trying to quit smoking. So I gave it a shot I bought a refillable and rechargeable e-cig kit from a local vendor and liked it from day one. I started out with a 24mg nicotene strength and never had the first craving. I have been using e-cigs now for two months and have not smoked a cigerette since the day I purchased my kit. Two months does not seem like a long time but in that time I have had several very stressfull things happen in my life and as anyone who has attempted to quit smoking can tell you stress is usually what makes you pick it back up. I have already brought myself down to an 18mg nicotene level and will probly go down more eventually. I don’t currently have plans to quit nicotene all togeather thats not why I started e-cigs. I started it as a safer alternative to smoking and am already taking notice to my breathing improving. So if every thing else has failed you where do you turn? I turned to e-cigs and never looked back.
