I was a smoker for 45 years. I started smoking when I was 15 years old. I have tried unsuccessfully to quit numerous time. I have used/tried every product released for smoking cessation. I have even gone as far as injections into my ears. I know it sounds crazy but I was willing to try anything. It didn’t work along with the nicorette gum, wellbutrin, hypnosis, and chantix. I also tried the nicotine patches and discovered that I have an allergy to the adhesive. I had welts for 3 weeks where ever I had placed a patch. During these trials I gained weight and my blood pressure went up, I got depressed, anxious, angry and had numerous stomach problems and headaches. Then I discovered e-cigs! What I discovered has essentially saved my life and at the very least has given me a higher quality of life. I have finally quit smoking, I started out with a e-liquid with 24 % nicotine level and am working my way down, in fact in six months I am now down to 16%. I have moved from ordering e-liquid juice to making my own because it is much more affordable this way. Since I have started ??vaping? my respiratory status has improved, I haven’t had a cold, and I feel great, and when others smell my fruity, creamy vapor they always say it smells yummy! It has never bothered anyone, not even one person. My Grandson once told me, ??DeDe please cook me something that tastes like that smells.?
