I started smoking cigarettes daily when I was 14 (but had been smoking now and then since I was 11). I am now 45 and have been vaping for 7 months now. I started vaping e-liquid with 24mg nicotine, and now am down to vaping 5-6mg nicotine. First day I bought my e-cigarette, I stopped smoking cigarettes completely and havent smoked a single cigarette since. I mix my own e-liquid and like trying out new tastes. I have tried to quit smoking cigarettes at least 5 times. Using patches, gum, pills and cold turkey. They didnt work… and I went back to smoking. After I started vaping my health has improved immensely… my breathing, stamina, lot less headaches, I can smell things better, my taste has improved and so on. Also neighter me or my house stink of cigarette smoke anymore. Only negative thing I have experienced is… that they want to ban the nicotine liquid. Banning the only thing that REALLY helps you stop smoking cigarettes. If they do ban it… Im fairly certain that I would go back to smoking cigarettes again.
