Hello, my name is Michael. I started smoking when I was about 15 years old and in high school because I thought it was cool unfortunately I became addicted to cigarettes. I have tried the gums and hard candies to get something in my mouth to deplete the cravings. None of them worked. My fianc?? became pregnant when I was 19 years old and I smoked almost all the way through it, never around her. On January 16th of 2012 I decided to check out a local e-cigarette store because many people of my family has quit by using their products. So I figured I would try it out but didn’t think it would work because they do not give off all of the smoking features, throat feeling, smoke, flavor. I bought the e-cigarette around noon that day and since then have yet to smoke another cigarette. My motivation to quit was because of my son coming into this world very soon and did not want him to see me doing this. This particular e-cigarette worked great for me and I have not had a single cigarette until this day over 17 months now. And I feel better than ever!
