My name is Aaron. I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 25+ years. I tried so many things to quit smoking but nothing helped. Nothing helped that is, until I found personal vaporizers. I refuse to call them ecigs because they are NOT a cigarette. Just because they contain nicotine does not make them a tobacco product. Coffee contains caffeine but we don’t call Pepsi, Folgers now do we? Of course not there is a distinction between coffee drinkers and those who enjoy a soda. Beer contains alcohol but we don’t refer to it as liquor. Why do we feel this need to associate vaping with smoking? It is NOT the same. Anyways I digress. My story is short and simple I smoked for 25 years then I tried vaping. I started on the Blu brand vaporizer and because of my ignorance thought that was all vaping had to offer. Until I met someone who was well informed about vaping. What you have to realize is that while many people can purchase these amazing devices online they normally end up consulting an experienced vaper to help them through this change. The community of vapers is wholeheartedly open armed when it comes to new vapers and the support you will find there is not only refreshing but needed. Because of the support system, wealth of knowledge, and friendships I have created along my path to a smoke free life I can proudly say that as of 5/24/2013 I am 129 days smoke free. The longest I have ever been without a cigarette and I feel amazing! I can breathe again I walk to work now, I don’t smell like an ashtray and I don’t feel guilty every time I take a vape! Please stop referring to these products as tobacco related. They have nothing to do with tobacco. THANK YOU !
