I was 12 years old when I started smoking as a way to cope with my dysfunctional home.Then in 2011 my sister had done some research online & had heard about e-cigarettes. She decided to give it a try & so did I. My asthma was getting so bad & I needed to do something. I smoked for over 20 years & up to almost 2 packs a day! I was also taking daily asthma medication, using a rescue inhaler twice a day & breathing treatments 3 times a week. Not only have I been COMPLETELY smoke free for over two years… my breathing is ALOT better. I no longer need breathing treatments nor do I take daily asthma medication. I only take a rescue inhaler once in awhile when my allergies act up & thats it! Its wonderful….my sense of taste & smell are better, I dont stink like cigarettes, nor does my clothes or my home! Thank God for e-cigs. If it wasnt for them, I most surely would have ended up with emphysema!
