I was a pack a day smoker for 25 years of my life until I discovered vaping. ?ÿ?ÿI had tried nicotine gum, ?ÿthe nicotrol inhaler, ?ÿpatches, and Chantix all without success. ?ÿ?ÿI started vaping in July of 2012 and as of July 2013 I am still cigarette free. ?ÿAs a medical professional I can certainly attest to the fact that my health has improved over the last year. My blood pressure is lower. ?ÿ?ÿI no longer cough. ?ÿI can work out without becoming winded and haven’t had a sinus infection in the last year which I had become accustomed to experiencing at least 3 times a year while smoking. ?ÿ?ÿVaping has been a perfect fit for me allowing me to obtain nicotine and maintain the hand to mouth oral fixation common to smokers. ?ÿAt this time I have no intentions to give up nicotine completely but I have no doubts vaping would make lowering my nicotine intake a cinch. ?ÿI am hopeful to never pick up another cigarette in my life but I plan to continue vaping as long as I can.
