I started smoking cigarettes at an extremely young age, 11. I have been cigarette free for 11 months now thanks to e-cigarettes. At about 35, I began an attempt to quit smoking with e-cigarettes when the products were in their infancy and it didn’t work for me then. I also tried, in the past, nicotine gum and Welbutrin to help me quit smoking without success. I revisited e-cigarettes on September 1st, 2012 for another and renewed effort, much like I had done with the nicotine gum. I almost failed against except for persistence and experimenting with different products until I found the right ones for me. It really helped that 4 of my coworkers also switched to e-cigarettes with me. We have all been successful in quitting smoking together. I am now confident that I am done smoking for good. I have steadily reduced my nicotine levels from 24 mg when I started to 6-8 mg levels. I feel great and owe my smoke-free year to e-cigarettes and the great online support of the e-cigarette, vaping, community.
