My wife and I have been smokers for over 30 years. I have personally tried quitting on 2 occasions. The first cold turkey when I had shortness of breath and a test showed I had the lungs of a 50 year old. I was 26 at the time. I stopped smoking for about 6 months and slowly started up again. My wife never really attempted to quit but has always wanted to stop. Just never had the will power to do it. My wife went through about 2 packs a day. However, she did leave them burn in the ash tray often. So she probably actually smoked between 1 and 1.5 packs a day. I was about a pack a day but while trying to quit again I was able to get down to half a pack a day. I seemed content with that and never really tried totally stopping. My wife decided she wanted to try an e-cig. Our daughter bought her one of those cig-a-likes from Blu. She had mild success with them slowing her down to 3/4 to a pack a day from the 2 she went through. That success didn’t last long as the little Blu e-cigs just wasn’t enough. We later tried e-cigs from V2. They were better than the Blu she had but yet they proved not to be enough. Both the Blu and V2 brands were just too hard to get a hit off of that it took the joy out of them. Proving regular cigarettes were just easier to use. She later decided to give e-cigs another try so we went to a local vapor’s store. That’s when we really learned a lot about e-cigs, how they work and most importantly, why the Blu and V2 did not work. This was the turning point for the both of us which led to us successfully quitting cigarettes. We initially starting vaping as a way to reduce the number of cigarettes we used and save money. In less than a month’s time of vaping with our new mods, tanks and e-liquid we both found ourselves reaching for the e-cigs and not even thinking about a real cigarette. Before we knew it, we just stopped the cigarettes and are now smoke free.
