Hello, keenan from ottawa here. I was a smoker for four years and tried quitting a good number of times with no success. Twice, i have tried with nrt gum and once with nrt patch. I didn’t get through more than two days with either. I then taied an electronic cigarette from a local supplier. It worked well and i reduced the amount of cigarettes i was smoking by two per day. This was a long time ago however and the product had no nicotine and was poor quality compared to what is now available. I quit the ecigfor a year and continued smoking. A year later i tried out a better ecig and got some nicotine liquid for it just to use in the winter when i didnt want to go out in the cold. To my surprise, within two weeks i had no desire to smoke regular tobacco cigarettes at all and was completely cigarette free. I still am. And that was without even trying! Today, i have been using ecigs exclusively for over two years and i feel fantastic. I can breathe, smell and taste substantially better. I can bike over 130 km in one day. I can dive the length of an Olympic swimming pool i can enjoy the active life again even with asthma and i am a much healthier body weight (put on some pounds) all with no effort. Best of all i find myself much less dependant on my ecig vs when i smoked. Sometimes i dont vape for 4-6 hrs and dont even notice. This is a lot to be said considering 2 years and a few months ago i could barely go two hours without a cigarette. No more unfounded, senseless bans!
