I started smoking the day I turned 18. What started with cigars and cigarellos quickly ballooned into a 1/2 – 1 pack a day habit, costing me nearly $50.00USD a week. I started vaping after just under three years of smoking, due to wishing to prevent second-hand smoke, as my girlfriend was pregnant at the time. While I had used cig-a-like products before, with no intention to quit standard cigarettes, I purchased a basic eGo type E-cigarette with the intention to stop smoking completely. It worked – I did not smoke a single cigarette. Unfortunately, after a period of a few months, I relapsed, and began smoking again for four months. I started vaping again, this time with a Hades mod and Kraken rebuildable tank, and I have not smoked a single cigarette since. I’ve tried other smoking-cessation products, such as lozenges, which I find to cause too much of a head-rush due to the level of nicotine, and unsatisfying due to the lack of a motor-oral behavior habits. I’ve decreased nicotine consumption from 18mg/ml to 1mh/ml, and find myself vaping much less than when I first started. It has now been one and a half years since I started vaping again, and I’ve not looked back. I can now breathe better, I don’t get sick nearly as often, and I feel better. The cravings for nicotine are much more manageable. I am so happy that I started vaping.
