I am a 58 year old woman, a former 2 pack per day smoker. I loved my cigarettes, but hated smoking. I always dreamed of somehow being able to smoke without smoking. My 3 adult children detested my smoking, they grew up with 2 heavy smokers in the house, not outside. I am a Christian, and prayed to God for help on a daily basis. One day on a Saturday morning (I will never forget, ever)I decided to tell God I will never stop smoking, I gave up all hope. Wow, following that confession, I drove to a vapor store, walked in, this beautiful person Mark, loaded up my electronic cigarette, and said, give it a try. After the first inhalation, I proceeded to cry my ever loving eyes out!!!!!!!!!!! I knew immediately, I had just quit smoking! I was finally free, and my dream of smoking without smoking, had come true. It has been one year and 3 months, I have not ever smoked again. At this time, I am very discouraged and so upset with all the hysteria and misinformation of this remarkable invention. It is not tabbacco on any level and is not second hand anything. We need support, not barricades to our freedom to choose. Nicotine is an alkaloid as is caffeine, nor does it cause disease. I would be in agreement for the FDA to regulate the sanitizing and proper labeling on e-juice, that would be appropriate. The taxing of this device on the same level as cigarettes would be devastating to the whole idea of the better choice. The tabacco companys would just love it and would send people right back to cigarettes. One more opinion, flavors are for adults too..I choose caramel, as tabbaco no longer tastes good to me! Thank God!
