I have been a smoker for 39 years.I smoked a pack to a pack and half a day. I’ve tried pills and the patch in the past and could never get through more than a week before smoking again. I started e cig 2 months ago at 24 mg of nicotine dropped down to 12 mg nicotine,next month I will drop down to 6 mg of nicotine then hopefully 0 mg of nicotine after that. This has to be the easiest thing I’ve ever done when it come to trying to quit smoking. I’ve never once felt like I needed a cig from day one,and that’s unusual for me. Everything I tried in the past I still craved and used cigarettes at the same time. Since I started using e cigs have not felt any desire for a real cigarette. Not to mention I’m already breathing better and my health is improving considerably. I’m a diabetic so smoking tobacco was causing some real issues. Now that I’m not smoking tobacco I’m walking more and taking almost no insulin shots where I was taking 4 shots a day. That’s a major improvement and I’m am so very,very,thankful that this e-cig alternative was available. I’m can with out a doubt say that this is a life changer for me. I really don’t understand how something so beneficial,as specially for someone like me can cause so much controversy. May be ignorance breads fear I guess. No one seems scared of tobacco like this, it keeps moving along.
