I was a smoker of Marlboro cigarettes for 28 years. I started smoking when I was 17 and working at a grocery store. It was cool to smoke and hang out with the guys I worked with on breaks. And in doing so I became addicted. I have tried 6 previous times (serious attempts, not half way) to quit smoking since I started. These included using regular chewing gum to keep me occupied when i craved a cig. I used the nicotine gum as well. I even just tried mind over matter cold turkey. All failures. I came closest with the nicotine gum and was able to quit for about 3-4 weeks. Then gave in and had 1. Which led to another and before long I was back to where I was before. This time is completely different from any other attempt! I tried a disposable ecig because I was in a tobacco store and saw someone else try one. I wondered what they were like and if I would like it. I did think about quitting frequently as I am 45 years old now and the older you get the more you tend to think about your health. So I bought one. I took it home and it sat on my kitchen counter for almost a week. I passed by it and thought I really want to try that but grabbed for my pack of marlboro’s instead. One day I said to myself, I have spent the money on it and I want to try it so here I go. And I opened it and tried it. It was a lot better than I thought it would be as to the flavor and feel. I continued to use it over the next 24 hrs and realized I hadn’t had a real cigarette in a full day, so I grabbed my pack and saw I only had 3 left. I decided to finish my pack and never have another. I lit the cigarette and it tasted REALLY bad!! I almost immediately put it out and crushed the remaining 2 cigs in the pack and threw it away. I have not had a cigarette since. And that was 2 months ago! This is the longest I have gone without having a cigarette in 28 years!! I feel better than I have in a long time and have actually lost 6lbs since I quit smoking! I can’t say enough as to how much vaping has helped me. I have even converted 2 of my friends who were using tobacco as well and one has been a week without it and the other has been almost 3 weeks!
