For 22 years I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker. I tried quitting several times using patches, gums and always started smoking again. Then i dicovered vaping, And have been cigarette free since january 1, 2015, being able to quit cold turkey. Since that time my health has improved greatly. My breathing, taste and smell are improving. I have also been able to get my mother who smoked for 45 years, off of cigarettes vaping. It took her about 4 days to quit altogether. And most recently, my wife, a smoker for 19 years, has quit smoking and started vaping, quiting cold turkey.
