I started smoking at the age of 13 and smoked about a pack a day until the age of 47. I had tried to quit smoking using patches and hard candy as suggested by a couple of cessation Web sites, but never made it more than a couple of months. I tried three different brands of e cigs, but they weren’t satisfying, and I tended to use them more, because of the lower nicotine delivery. Then a friend told me about a Vapor shop that had opened in our rural area. They explained what it is and how it works. I now use a mod and a tank. I can control the delivery and make it suit my needs. I use it less than I used cigarettes because it is more satisfying. I was able to quit smoking immediately and have not had a cigarette since. Before I quit smoking, I had some breathing difficulty (slight wheeze, shortness of breath) and a slight cardiac arrhythmia. I also had high blood pressure that didn’t respond effectively to medication. (170 over 105). I was taking four blood pressure medicines. With in a few months of switching to vaping, and quitting smoking, I found that I have no shortness of breath, no wheezing, vastly improved stamina the arrhythmia is gone and my blood pressure is now 120 over 75. I feel 10 years younger. I think, long term, vaping may have saved me from copd and a heart attack. I tried a drag of a cigarette, just for comparison, and found that I no longer enjoy them. I never thought I’d be able to say that. I have been smoke free for almost two years, and I intend to stay that way.
