I started smoking at 11 years of age. I was quickly addicted. I could not quit even as an expectant mother in my mid 20’s hospitalized with lower respiratory infections each pregnancy. Nor could I quit holding my dying mom in my arms. She, as a nonsmoker, was still dying of multiple cancers, including lung cancer. I tried the filter reduction systems in the 70’s, the patches in the late 80’s and 90’s, and the replacement gum and lozenges in the new millennium. As of Nov of 2013, I started on a good e-cig system. By the end of that month, no more cigarettes. First cessation ever. It is now 3/3/2014 and I am down to 0-6mg on an ecig and can exercise, run a bit, walk the dog, breathe and feel as though I have a chance to live again. My husband used them and is now smoke free. I was hopeless until this. Now I feel like I have a chance at life again.
