I smoked for a total of 11 years. So widely available, and very much accepted. I tried smokeless tobacco which helped me get off cigarettes, although in my heart I knew it still wasn’t beneficial to my health. I bought my first e-cigarette in 2009 which I became unsatisfied with rather quickly although I knew is potential. I resumed conventional cigarettes for a few years until I found myself looking at the e-cigarette market again. On March 13, 2013, I smoked my last conventional cigarette ever. With it’s current technology, I have staved off cigarettes with the utmost energy. I am proud to have found a far safer habit and I have also gained a hobby. As a registered nurse, I know firsthand how life altering conventional cigarettes are and how detrimental they are too one’s health status. I support this community with all that I have and will do whatever I can to prevent the downfall if this community.
