I smoked for 14 years.I was up to about a pack and a half or better per day when I quit. I am a construction worker by trade.I had a big dissertation written with all kinds of detail but my phone crashed and I lost it lol which would typically have sent me out for a smoke break because I just got off work and have better ways to relax than stressing out about a cell phone batterys’ short comings. I have a couple of different ecigs and I’ve even built my own . I have been able to successfully lower my nicotine intake from when I’ve started. I was using juice with a concentration of 24mg/1ml of nicotine which was the closest to the realƒ?? feel i thought. I am now between 12mg/1ml and 8mg. I have noticed an overall cardiovascular improvement as well as respiratory. Customers and family/friends don’t complain about the various caveats of smoking ie. the smell, trash etc. I also like the new stores popping up all the U.S.A. made juice and mods. One year cigarette free June 7 2013! My dad has been a smoker for like as long as I’ve been alive and he’s got a couple ecigs now thanks to me. he survived cancer and he’s quit smoking! He s gonna sign this too lol he tried the gum, the patch, chantrix , he even said he had something where they pricked his ear . Long story short they work and they work good, they’re good for the environment by reducing litter and improving air quality, and they’re good for the economy.
