I was a pack a day smoker for over 20 years. I had tried every method possible to quit. I even tried medicine that drove me into emotional chaos I wanted to quit so much. I was enviouse of non smokers I hated my habit I could nt breathe anymore, I could nt afford medical insurance because I was a smoker.. I wanted to stop but could not last for more than a few weeks, my temper would flare up I would get depressed I could nt sleep. Gums, patches, they were just a waste of time and money. I know people who spend more on their nicorette gum habit then they did smoking. I was given one try on a Vapor system by a friend and i inherently knew this was the answer for me. I went and bought a tank a battery and e-juice. That was the last time I ever smoked. It did take some will power and it did take commitment but I am free from smoking Tar and chemicals. No I am not free from nicotine, I will keep lowering my levels though as time goes by. I will never smoke again though I know this and have found great joy in this. I can breathe and taste and exercise. I am going to retake my blood test for health Insurance. E-cigs changed my life. And let me further mention when I say E cig. I do not mean Blue or mass produced generic e cig products they did not work for me although they are a step in the right direction. Vaping with e liquid is what works. I believe that e liquid produced here in the U.S. is by far the best way to go… And I am very confident in the providers and makers i purchase from. I hope in the future there will be more research done on safe flavors for inhalation and who knows what science may come up with in years to come that might improve on glycols .But let it be done in a positive manner. I do not want regulation. Cigarettes were regulated by our government. We are adults and can look after ourselves. I would like to see the end of smoking cigarettes in general I believe that e cigs are the answer. And no a tax should not be levied on e cig sales. We are trying to find a away to quit cigarettes .We were taxed for being addicted to a substance regulated and deemed legal by our government that in effect led to sickness and death. The government and States made their blood money now step back and let us find a cure we should not be taxed any longer for trying to get healthy.
