I am a 69 year-old woman who began smoking at age 16. Forty – nine years later, on April 4, 2009, I switched to the eCig and have not smoked or otherwise used tobacco in any form since. Previously I tried nicotine patches and gum, both of which caused me to vomit. My experience with Chantix was unsuccessful. Only the eCig worked for me, and the transition was seamless. Since switching my health has markedly improved. I am a happy, satisfied vaper.
