I Smoked pretty much from my teen years until last February. i was smoking 2 – 21/2 packs a day plus occasional pipe cigar smoking. at the end there stairs and walking were really a chore and i had a darn good smokers cough. After several halfhearted attempts over the years i finally kicked cigarettes – i set up a 2 month schedule that halved my daily cigarette consumption each week, I bought some e-gigs and would buy a carton and label the individual packs by the day of the week and portion out each days ration of cigs into their daily packs – i basically timed out the day by the cigarette ration and then filled in my needs with the ecigs. I halved the daily ration weekly and when i got down to about 3 cigs a day i ran out and was to lazy to go to the store so i just had an ecig- this was the last cigarette i had and i feel much better – hiking co 14ers and snowshoeing – worked for me …
