So when I was 16 I had my first cigarette (absolutely awful too; choking and feeling pretty sick ?? nauseous and light headed, but I was a good actor so to anyone else it would seem that I liked it and then one cigarette led to another ) ?? Sound familiar? OK, fast forward 41 years, over 22,000 packs of Marlboro Red @ 1.5 packs a day, that??s some real cash. I took more and more trips to the doc in the last 10-15 years for respiratory problems; ear infections, flu, pneumonia, etc (more cash). I tried to stop smoking many times with patches, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenges, and just cold turkey quiting. Nothing worked; I would end up with a cigarette in my hand to calm my really bad nerves because of my hopeless addiction to nicotine. There was so much tar built up in my lungs (oxygen=energy) that even simple physical activity like a trip to the mall would leave me very tired. So the grim reaper had me by the hand, I knew it, and felt powerless to stop smoking. THEN; one day in the mall I saw the e-cig displayed as a safer alternative to smoking, started doing google searches about studies and it turns out the e-cig is VERY safe, containing ingredients used since the 1940s in food, medicine, ladies makeup, etc. which were approved by the FDA way back then. I guarantee you that these ingredients (PG/VG) are in your house right now! (text or email me for detailed info about the studies or @ https://www.facebook.com/UnitedVapersAgainstEcigaretteBan). THE E-CIG CHANGED MY LIFE! I stopped smoking painlessly and have had no desire for tobacco cigs, I am not exposing my family to 2nd hand smoke, and my mouth and clothes no longer smell like the bottom of an ash tray. Here??s the best part; I haven??t been sick even once since I started vaping, my lungs are slowly repairing themselves, and my skin color returned to normal. I now wake up energized and ready for a busy day, life is once again great! So if you are a smoker, Vape! Nicotine addiction will not kill you but the 69 carcinogens/4000+ chemical compounds found in burning tobacco cigarettes will certainly give you a shorter life, if not kill you outright. After all my years of heavy smoking I am still comfortable with a low (6mg) nicotine e-juice. If you are not a smoker, you can vape too! Every e-juice manufacturer offers 0mg ( 0%) nicotine juice that comes in literally 100s of flavors. There is nothing quite like a good Mint/Bamskilicious vape. So when we meet up, lets have a vape and you can tell me about how you are doing??because you know I??m doing great- Vaping! God Bless
