I have been a smoker for 40 years. I started vaping almost 1 year ago. I started with the disposable ecig but they are really nothing like smoking to me so I switched to a vv mod and it changed my life. I now have several mech mods and vv/vw mods and rebuildable tanks so not only had it got me off cigarettes it has given me a hobby as well. I started vaping 24th nicotine but soon went all the way down to 9 to 12mgs. When I first started vaping I still smoked, but when I finally tried vv devices I was hooked and cigarettes started tasting really bad. I have tried to quit to many times to count in my life. I think I have used every product ever invented to help you stop smoking and the only one that has worked is vaping. I once quit for 8 months with patches but the health risks of then are not good at all bit I never heard that the FDA was doing anything about that risk. I started back soon as I stopped wearing the patches.I have been feeling so much better health wise and mentally since I have quit smoking. I feel like I can breath again and I don’t stink like a smoker does. The only negative I can think of to vaping is my wife not being happy with me wanting every new device that comes out.
