I’m 36 and I have been smoking since I was 16. I was one of a family of smokers. My grandfather and uncle have both passed away well before their time due to smoking and I knew that I could as well but the addiction had me. I have tried everything to stop smoking. Gum, tasted bad and burnt my tongue and lips. Patch, did nothing but make me jitter and feel sick, pills, cold turkey nothing was working I might stop for a day maybe two but never for good. I bought a cheap gas station e-cigarette back in 2010 and it helped cut me back to a half pack a day but then I lost interest because it just didn’t cut it. Well I found the e cig forum and started reading and researching an found a few other ecigarette I wanted to try and on 8/8/2013 I got my first good quality e cig and tank atty with some good quality juice and I have not touched another cigarette since. I take that back I had one on 8/25. It tasted horrible smelled bad and made me feel like crap so. I’m proud to say that I am an ex smoker and I’m proud to be an e cigarette user. Thank you.
