I’ve been a smoker since my young teens, I’m almost 50 now. I’ve tried to quit tobacco several times, used an electronic timer type product, disposable tips that are added to the filter, nicotine inhaler, gums, patches and Chantix. All were failures for me. Gums made me sick to my stomach and caused blisters in my mouth. I was allergic to the patches breaking out in a horrible rash and Chantix was awful! It made me angry and depressed. I’d forget the electronic device. The disposable tips made everything taste like plastic. The nicotine inhaler actually spattered nicotine in my mouth, it was a mess. I first tried an e-cigarette while continuing to smoke tobacco about 5 years ago. After a few weeks, I was able to cut down to about 1 pack of tobacco cigarettes per week. Within 3 months, I was completely tobacco free. In the beginning I was using high strength nicotine solution, by around 6 months of use, I gradually switched to the medium strength solution. After another few months I cut down to the low strength solution. It’s far more convenient, cleaner for the environment and I feel so much better. No more morning cough, my lungs are clear, no smelly ashtrays. These e-cigarettes are something all smokers should consider. They make a world of difference. I even sleep better now. No more standing outside at restaurants/friends/family’s homes to smoke.
