I started smoking when I was 16 years old and stopped nearly two years ago (aged 46). I started using e-cigarettes and immediately stopped smoking – that seemed to me like a little wonder! Whenever I tried before not to smoke anymore I failed completely, but I have to mention, that I never tried smoke-free products. I didn’t manage to stop smoking even one day! The first week of vaping I used 18 mg-liquids, but I quickly realized, that this was too strong. So I went down to 12 mg and after one year I arrived at 6 mg – and I’m still using 6-mg liquids. After three weeks of vaping I began to feel terrible. I felt nauseated and became giddy constantly (now I think, it was some sort of withdrawal). But this sickness went away after another three weeks and since then I’m really fine – except a litte weight gain, but that’s okay (after all I’m not smoking anymore!!!). The quality of my life changed completely. From the first day of vaping I stopped coughing – unbelievable, but true. My sense of smell and my sense of taste got much better very quickly. My breathing and my condition got much better too. My clothes and the air around me don’t stink of smoke anymore and so I don’t get into trouble with non-smokers anymore (and that was in the beginning the main reason for me to quit smoking). Maybe I’m not a non-smoker in the proper sense, but I’m surely an ex-smoker and I’m really happy and a little bit proud about that. Finally I thank you for your great work and I hope, it will be successfull! I really believe that vaping is a great chance and will be the future of smoking.
