I was a 2 pack a day smoker who started at 15 in the back lot of my highschool when the school allowed smoking in that designated spot by anyone no matter legal age or not that was in 2000-2001. Last year October 15th 2013 i bought an Ego electronic Cig,the refillable ones that you put flavor of your choice in and can change the wicks as well. That day i put down my newports and decided to only vape because I didnt want to die the way I seen my grandmother.She died in a hospice room 2 weeks after being admitted 1 week after they stopped feeding her because her feeding tube leaked, and 1 day after they diconnected the vapor from her oxygen which was also the only water she was recieving.All of this from Lung Cancer, and I watched her gasping for those last breaths. I only tried to smoke a regular cigerrette twice after getting my ego.The first time a week after,I took 3 puffs and it gave me a terrible migraine.The last time 2 days after that it smelled and taste so horrible i threw it down after one puff and trashed my last whole pack of cigerettes i had left.It is now April 24th 2014 and i am still smoke free and Happily vaping my favorite flavors french vanilla, blueberry cotten candy, and butterscotch all in nicotine strength of 24mg as i have since day one which i am happy with until such time i feel im ready to go with a lower strength. The best feelings ive experienced from the switch of smoking to vaping? Everything taste better, smells better,and my overall mood as well as self esteem is better as well.If I never quit vaping Ill still be happy because I know that Vaping helped me Kicks the Butts for good!!
