I was a pack-a-day smoker for 25 years. I enjoyed smoking and had no desire to quit, but it was becoming more and more obvious as the years went by that cigarettes were having an impact on my health. Constant coughing, mucous in my lungs, shortness of breath, lack of energy, and other typical symptoms of a long-time smoker were starting to become a problem. I knew that I NEEDED to quit smoking cigarettes, but was afraid of failing, because I didn’t WANT to quit. I knew that medication and patches were not an option for me, because I enjoyed the physical act of smoking, so I decided to research electronic cigarettes. This was probably the single best personal health decision that I have ever made! After weeks of research, making a determination as to what product would work best for my lifestyle, I purchased my first E-Cigarette starter kit. A simple Ego-Style kit with tobacco flavored liquid. The day I purchased the kit, I also bought myself a pack of tobacco cigarettes, figuring that I would have to wean myself off the regular cigarettes gradually. I was wrong! I smoked 1 cigarette out of that pack while my E-Cigarette battery was charging. After my first Vape on the E-Cig, I knew that I was DONE with tobacco cigarettes forever! Within days, my lungs cleared out, the coughing stopped, I could breathe so much better and unexpectedly, EVERYTHING TASTED BETTER too! The change was obvious, dramatic and almost immediate. So much so, that within 2 weeks, every tobacco cigarette smoker in my household had switched to electronic cigarettes. It has been 3 months now and I have since upgraded to several larger mod style e-cigs and thanks to the great variation of flavors available, none of us even use tobacco flavored liquids anymore! No more stale cigarette odors in the car, on the clothes or on the breath. I feel better, breathe better, taste everything better, and smell better. It’s like having the best of both worlds, with no withdrawals, no appetite increase, no desire to go back to tobacco cigarettes at all. I still get to enjoy the act of smoking, without the negative effects of tobacco and it’s nothing short of AMAZING!
