I smoked cigarettes for 18 years. Most of that time was a pack-a-day habit. I tried to quit using many different techniques. I used the patch twice. I did Chantix and Wellbutrin. Sometimes, with success – but always going back to smoking within 6 months. I started vaping 2 1/2 years ago, and haven’t smoked one cigarette from that moment. I like nicotine, and vaping is a healthier option to get it. I also never excercised when I was a smoker. Since quitting cigarettes, I began running. I ran in four official 5k races last summer. I placed 2nd female in one with over one hundred participants. I run for at least 30 minutes a day now, and sometimes I run 7 miles. Vaping changed my life for the much better.
