I smoked for 8 years, probably 3/4 pack a day on average. I have tried quitting by slowly smoking less and less, but I always started back (even after quitting completely for 3 months once). The fact is i enjoy smoking, but I know its killing me. That’s why I tried e-cigs to reduce the amount of actual cigarettes I smoked. I was buying cheap gas station brand e-cigs which helped a lot and did reduce my smoking, but I always had problems like bad taste or batteries that refused to work. I recently decided to try again but invest in a better system, specifically the eGo because I know several people who have it and they spoke very well of it. I only bought it two days ago but I have not had a regular cigarette since then. I still kind of want to, but I hate smelling like it and I’m committed to not smoking anymore. The eGo gives me the ability to do essentially do the same thing – reliably get my relaxing smoke with a splash of nicotine (in whatever flavor I am in the mood for) – but without the same risk, no flames, no smell, no watering eyes, no feeling like a horrible person when I’m around friends who don’t smoke. I’m very happy to have made the switch and I don’t want to look back. I think in the long run this will save my money and my lungs.
