I began smoking regular cigarettes at the age of 18. I attempted to quit several times using the nicotine patch but always returned to smoking after a one or two months. I began using electronic cigarettes regularly in June of 2013; first with a refillable cartomizer and now with a refillable clearomizer. I am pleased to say I haven’t smoked a regular cigarette since June of 2013 – nine months ago! Not only do I feel better, but I have more color in my face and my clothes and hair no longer smell like an ashtray.
