I smoked for about 25 years until last December (2012). After getting my first e-cig, I was done with smoking. I had one analog cigarette a week after starting e-cigs just to see if I was really done with them. I threw it out before finishing it and have not even thought about smoking tobacco since then. I recently passed the six month mark. Over the years I had tried to quit several time, even once for a five year stretch. This is different, I much prefer vaping to smoking and could never see myself going back. Since making the switch, I can breath better, my sense of smell has come back, my cloths (or my truck, or myself) don’t stick like an ashtray anymore. As an amateur singer, my voice has improved as well. My overall quality of life has improved tremendously and have made many new friends that are fellow vapers along the way. This community has a great support group. There is a multitude of people out here that are just as excited as I am to be free from the bondage of tobacco cigarettes.
