August 5, 2013 To whom it may concern, I had been a smoker since 1994. I’d never seriously tried to quit, even though I kept thinking I really needed to quit, often rationalizing that at least I wasn’t smoking that much at just 2 or 3 packs a week. About 3 months ago I went into a tobacco store to buy a couple packs of cigarettes. I noticed their ecigs, asked the clerk to tell me about them and ended up buying an Ego style battery and CE4 clearomizer in a blister pack, a bottle of 18mg e-juice, as well as a pack of cigarettes. I had no intention to quit smoking. This was just me satisfying my curiosity about these devices. Over the next 3 days, I vaped quite a bit and my cigarette usage dwindled until the 3rd day I realized I had gone all day without a smoke. So I went outside, lit one up, and was shocked by the unpleasant taste and feeling. I just didn’t want it anymore. I put it out without finishing it, and haven’t had one since. I’ve had occasional cravings which I am able to ignore thanks to vaping. I know other people who are using ecigs to try to quit who have not had as easy a time with it as I have, but for me this just works, and I wasn’t even setting out to quit! Brian Goosen Dallas, TX
