A success story Hello, My name is Brian M. and I have lived in Ohio most of my life. I started smoking cigarettes at age 11 and continued to smoke for 37 years. The one time I really tried to quit was in the early 90’s and I used the nicotine patches. After about 2 weeks I began to smoke again as I was not satisfied with the patch alone. Right around the beginning of 2012 I discovered the electronic cigarettes here in Grove City, Ohio and gave them a try as I really wanted to quit tobacco. The first ones I tried were from a company here in Ohio and they looked just like a real cigarette, and had the disposable cartridges/cartomizers. The first couple months I still smoked cigarettes but at least it was fewer. After learning more about options for e-cigarettes, I realized that maybe I would be more satisfied with them if I were to try a stronger nicotine content in the cartridges. I then switched to 24mg nicotine and I found I could leave the tobacco cigarettes alone. Rather than draw the story out, I’ll just tell you that I now (8/2/2013) am using 12 mg nicotine content and have not smoked a cigarette since the end of march 2012. I now have no intention to ever go back to tobacco cigarettes because I feel free for the first time since I was a child. No more a slave to tobacco. I will eventually give up the e-cigs as well, but I am not worried about the effects at the present time when compared to tobacco. I breath easier, don’t smell like smoke, feel better about myself and my health, get fewer colds or sinus troubles. Its a great product for stopping smoking in my opinion, and I’m grateful to have been using them. THATS MY STORY AND I’M STICKIN TO IT. Thanks for reading, Brian M.
