I have smoked since I was 14 years old, I am 36 now. I started with e-cigarettes about 3 months ago. I use an e-go 510 e-cigarette with 18 mg of nicotine. I am using distilled water to dilute the strength of the nicotine. I would say I am about down to 9 mg right now. I still smoke 2 real cigarettes a day, down from 30 when I smoked them exclusively. I haven’t been able to quit smoking completely, but it’s going to happen real soon, and I am excited to be smoke-free. I have tried habitrol patches 14mg, nicorette gum, cold turkey, chantix-none of them seemed to work-because you still get the urge to smoke while doing these methods. It’s a mental addiction as well. E-cigarettes take care of that mental addiction for me. I have something to puff on. It delivers the nicotine, without the 4000 other chemicals in regular cigarettes. I have noticed better breathing, my periodontal health has improved, my teeth aren’t stained as bad, and I notice I have more energy.
