I’ve actually started smoking when I was 7. I got back to it at the age of 17. For about 8-9 months, I’ve been smoking hard. So, I bought myself an E-cigarette from a kiosk at the mall. It most took away my habit of smoking cigarettes. I rarely smoke a cigarette. maybe 1 every two months, sometimes none. I’ve smoked while using the alternative for not so long. maybe about a month or 3. I tried to quit completely without an alternative but it did not work. I was able to go for a month without a single cigarette ti’ll I finally bought my alternative/e-cigarette. The good changes in my life right now ever since I quit smoking is I can breathe better, smell good, and feel more confident because you don’t have that tobacco smell. Bad thing is, buying e-liquid. but, that’s no biggie. its worth it.
