I’m a 27 year old woman and had been smoking since I was 15. Like most people who started smoking as a teenager, I did it to be cool and fit in with my friends. It didn’t take long for me to become a regular, pack a day smoker. My first attempt at quitting, I was 22 and tried cold turkey. I was back to smoking within 2 days. My second attempt, I tried the nicotine gum but didn’t like the taste, so I switched to the patch instead. I was back to smoking within a week. My third, and final, attempt was using an e-cigarette. By this time I was so discouraged that I didn’t think I’d be able to quit, but my husband begged me to give it a chance. I did, and haven’t had a cigarette since. I used the disposable e-cigarettes for about a week, but they’re really expensive and don’t last that long, so I started looking into personal vaporizers (the ones where you refill the liquid). I purchased one, and it probably saved my life. Heart disease and cancer runs in my family, and I don’t want to die young from smoking. I started using e-cigarettes a month ago and haven’t touched a cigarette since an hour before purchased my first disposable e-cigarette and I will never smoke a cigarette again. I’ve noticed many positive changes on myself, both physically and emotionally, since I quit smoking and I haven’t experienced any negative physical or emotional issues from using e-cigarettes. They’re the best thing for people to use to quit smoking if they’ve failed by trying other methods. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t have been able to quit without my personal vaporizer. Trying to quit cold turkey and with the gum and patch failed, and I refused to use medication due to all of the negative side effects, including severe depression and suicidal thoughts. If the person who invented the e-cigarette and personal vaporizer ever reads this, thank you for saving my life.
