I’m 59 years old and smoked for 45 years. I began smoking e-cigs obtained from the local discount store about June of 2013. They were small and expensive. I managed to cut down my stinkies (real tobacco cigarettes) to only 4 per day after about a month of using the lesser products available to me locally. When I found the ECF forum for e-cig users, I found information that led me to buying advanced e-cig equipment which led me to be able to quit within a few days of obtaining the flavored e-liquids and advanced e-cig batteries. I have not smoked tobacco cigarettes since June 6, 2013. I have no desire to smoke tobacco cigarettes at all as long as I have my e-juice providing the nicotine thru wonderful flavorful products and long lasting batteries at reasonable prices. In fact, I enjoy my new found habit as a hobby and I have not enjoyed my stinky smoking habit since I was in my early twenties. I am so glad that I do not ingest smoke along with the other chemicals in tobacco products. I am also glad that I no longer subject others to my dangerous smoke. I have tried hypnosis three times, smoking cessation counseling twice, Chantix once, nicotine patches once (which I still have negative effects from as I could not quit smoking while using and somehow overdosed), and acupuncture. I have never been able to go a whole day without a cigarette. I thought I would go to my grave as a tobacco addict with a stinking smoking lit cigarette between my lips. First, the negative side effects of quitting tobacco. I did have digestive upsets which led to many trips to the bathroom after quitting which lasted about a couple of weeks. I had to increase my water intake and take probiotic capsules for about 2 weeks. I am so excited to have been able to quit smoking for the first time in my life. I have so much more energy now. I regained my energy level within a week of being smoke free. I can breath better and can do moderate exercise now. I am 59, so I can’t do everything I want but can do so much more than before. I can only hope that our e-cig and e-liquid products will alway’s be available to us so that much younger smokers will make the switch. I had no intention of quitting, it just happened naturally after switching to non-smoking nicotine products. I also bought e-cig batteries and e-juice for my two adult sons so they could quit smoking and they have both had success. I keep extra batteries around to give to others when I have the opportunity. I like to keep cute, pretty, cool, accessories around that will catch the interest of young adults in order to make it more attractive to them than smoking a stinking tobacco product. Oh, how I wish I had had the opportunity to buy these products when I was young. My life could have been so much better. Please, don’t take our ability to buy nicotine and e-cig products away.
