I smoked 1.5-2 packs a day for a little over 25 years. I started on non filter, and progressed to filtered menthol in first 5 years of smoking. In the last 10 years I tried counseling, nicotine patches, and nicotine gum. None of that worked well, if at all to reduce my smoking. I gave up on quitting altogether. 3 months ago I got some disposable e-cigs to use at work when I couldn’t smoke (not enough time to get to the designate smoking area at break). I was still smoking and using the e-cigs for about 2 weeks, when it dawned on me that the e-cig was in fact working, I could quit smoking tobacco with e-cig. The only drawback was limited life span of the cig alike when used as an all day substitute. I then found out about the world of vaping, and all better built, longer lasting e cigarets I could buy. I started out with 24mg e juice, and gave up tobacco 100%. I am now over 2 months smoke free, no intention or desire of EVER going back to cigarets, and down to 18mg juice, and just starting to use some 16mg juice as I type this. I feel MUCH better health wise. In my job I have tasks that put my lungs to the test weekly. Getting off cigarets has improved my lung capacity more than I could have imagined. No more cough either. My wife noticed the marked health improvement in me, and switched from smoking to vaping as well. Her chronic cough of the last 5 years was gone within a week. Amazing! We are now happy to be a smoke free home. It would have never happened with e cigs!
