My name is Casey Vitale and I have successfully used E-Cigarettes or Vaping to quit smoking. I started smoking when I was 17 years old. At that age I thought I would never get addicted and I was wrong. Boy was I wrong. By the time I was pregnant with my first son I was ready to quit but the addiction had its hold on me and those 9 months were miserable. I even hate to admit, but I cheated and risked my own childs health while pregnant a few times. Always justifying it with my mother smoked while she was pregnant with me. Immediately after having my son I was right back to my pack-a-day ways. I got pregnant for a second time and again struggled the whole 9 months to completely kick the habit and again failed. I was bound and determined to quit so over the years I tried gums & patches. When they didn??t work i went to the doctor and they gave me Welbutrin and Chantix and while those methods broght me closer to quitting then any other method the most I stayed smoke free was about 30 days. I can honestly say that I havn??t touched a cigarette in over 5 months and it wasn??t a struggle AT ALL. From the very first day I started with an E-Cig I had no need for a regular ??analog? cigarette. It truely was an amazingly easy thing. So easy I convinced my boyfriend to quit using this method. It has been so easy for us that we have spread the word and now my father and uncle both have quit due to thier use of E-Cigarettes. Even our maitenance man has quit using this method, we happily chatted about how easy it has been one day when he came to fix my drain. It??s not just me, or me and my family. It??s pretty much anyone who has chosen to try this route out. To say that they haven??t been proven to help people quit is closing your eyes to the MASSIVE amounts of people who will swear by its effectiveness. Seriously stop saying it isn??t proven and take 6 months and do a study… I promise the rate and effectiveness will shine.
