I picked up smokeless tobacco use at a very early age and started smoking cigarettes around age twenty-two while in college. So, I smoked about eighteen years. About ten to twelve years ago, I was trying anything and everything to quit including nicotine gum, the patch and medication. I even tried smoking clove cigarettes to curb the use of tobacco. Nothing worked for me. About four years ago, I started smoking e-cigarettes. I gradually reduced the level of nicotine until I brought my nicotine level to zero milligrams after about three years! It did not take long after giving up cigarettes to start feeling better, and I completely made the switch from cigarettes to e-cigarettes when I decided to use a smoke-free alternative. I never looked back or had any desire to use tobacco after making the switch. I suffered no ill effects from using e-cigarettes. Today, I use vapor products without nicotine by choice alone; I go days without vaping, and I am so glad to say that I am an ex-smoker. It’s also nice to see so many other people using smoke-free alternatives. It would be so disappointing to see these products banned or controlled to the point it would not be an affordable alternative to tobacco use.
