I started smoking at age 11. It was what all my friends were doing. Blowing smoke rings was cool at the time and the only way to do that was to smoke. fast forward 39 years later. I smoke two packs a day and love smoking, it’s a bad habit thats not good for me or anyone around me, but it’s a great social tool where you can talk with all the smokers. I am a gramma with 2 small grandchildren who wear me out every time I am with them. I was about to turn 50 years old and thought maybe it was time for me to quit. I had heard about an e cigarette with juice that you could lower your nicotine by just buying a lower dose. I had my 50th birthday party on Sat April 20th, 2013 and bought my e-cig on Sunday the 21st at 3:00 pm. I have not had a cigarette since doing that. E-cigarettes are amazing to me! I have tried all ways of stopping smoking and none of them got me thru more than a few days. I cannot explain the gratitude I have for the inventors of this. I figured I would die a smoker. I started out with 24 mg of nicotine and have reduced that to 6 mg. I know I will be going to zero soon. It has been 99 days 21 hours and 28 minutes since I’ve had a cigarette. (I got this cool program for my smart phone that keeps track of that) I am pretty proud of myself. I have shared my story with lots of people who see me vaping, mostly at the casino, where I am vaping and they are smoking. They ask me about it and I tell them there is no way I could go into a casino if it wasn’t for the vapor cigarette. I would be smoking. I am truly impressed that i could go this long with out a cigarette. To me this is just like any other NRT therapy only it actually works. Kim
