I am a 40 year old woman with 5 children and 5 grandchildren. They all wanted me to quit smoking for years because I was diagnosed with COPD years ago and have heart problems on both sides of my family. My father died in 2001 after a 9 year battle with COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and every other lung problem out there. They only gave him five years. He put up a hard fight. I remember being younger and begging him to quit and he couldn’t. He got pneumonia 3 times in a row one winter he would be in the hospital a month come home for a week and go back to the hospital. This happened three times. He quit cold turkey. When I was 16 I started smoking back then I could smoke a month and quit the next day. Later on it wasn’t that easy. I made other attempts to stop using the ecigs that look like cigarettes and they didn’t help. Plus I had people who do care pushing me to quit. This time I had a brother in law that had a anuerisym he smoked 4-5 packs a day. He was able to quit in less than a week with the ecig that I now have. I quit during a very stressful time in my life. Many family members were having major health problems. He was my inspiration. I knew if he could give up 4-5 packs I could give up 2 packs. During the first week I was done smoking the real thing. I love my ecig and am planning on stepping down the amount of nicotine I am using when I order some next. I plan to get down to no nicotine at all. I can say that I don’t know if I reach that goal if even then I will quit vaping. I quite 20 years before my dad did. So I am happy in the fact that maybe the damage I have done to my lungs will be able to repair its self. I can already feel a great difference. I tried gum, inhalers, pills everything to quit and none of it helped. The ecig worked. I recommend them to everyone that I know has tried to quit with the ways the doctors say and had the same results I had NONE. A Proud Ex Smoker and A Super Proud Vaper Andrea Jones
