My name is Marc Moore,I’m eighteen years old and I live in Lakeside California, United States of America. I started smoking when I was 15, and my parents highly disproved so I had to sneak around so they would never smell it. when I turned 17 they started to notice. Before that I tried using everything from patches, gum, snus, chew, and I was on welbutrin for unrelated reasons, but none of it helped. I came to my parents 2 months before I turned 18 and told them everything, and they were willing to help… but I had to work for it. I saved up 60 dollars and ordered a rebuildable vaporizer and the second I took the first drag I knew I was never going to smoke again. Since I started vaping I noticed remarkable improvements to my health. When I was in the thick of combustible tobacco I could only hold my breath for 25 seconds, and thats saying quite a lot after 5 years of waterpolo. A month into vaping I could hold my breath for well over a minute, breathing came easier, I had increases in stamina, my taste and smell came back like I never thought it would, I have saved approximately 500 dollars since I started vaping 6 months ago, I have gained a fellowship of ex-smokers who know exactly what I went through, a complete loss of regular headaches, and the best part of it all I’m now a pleasant person to be around. Whereas before, nobody wanted to even get close enough to smell me. ___________________________________________________________________ With my families history of smoking, my addictive personality and the frequency at which I smoked, I’m positive electronic cigarettes have saved my life.
