After 30 years of smoking a pack a day and trying every available method to stop, February 4th 2012 I bought my first e-cig. Since that day I have not had one single puff of combustible tobacco. I had my first heart stent placed when I was 40, I kept smoking. I had my second stent placed at 41, I kept smoking. I had my first heart attack at 42, and another stent, I kept smoking. Third fourth and fifth stent by 44, after my second heart attack. I kept smoking. Sixth and seventh stent at 46. One week later my third heart attack and open heart surgery. I still kept smoking. During the 30 years I smoked I tried every method there was patches, guns, Chantix, Wellbutrin and cold turkey. Nothing worked not even the fear of death. But all the while I knew down deep inside I had to stop smoking, but just couldn’t. Until that day I tried the e-cig. It worked immediately, no struggle, no withdrawals, no looking back. It just worked. This device has the ability to save millions of lives and save millions of dollars. Millions of dollars that tobacco companies and pharmaceutical companies don’t want to loose. They work, they save lives, they saved mine and 6 of my closest friends.
