Clint Keesler, Mcdavid FL. I was a pack a day smoker for over 20 years, I tried everything to quit! I tried the patches, gum, herbs, cold turkey, and Chantix. Nothing worked for me. I finally tried e-ciggs (the kind where you add nic juice to to a small tank with a battery) in Nov 2013. Within a week I was off of the ciggs. I have been smoke free now for over 6 months! Hooray! Finally something that works. I started off at 18mg nic and am down to 9mg now. I am expecting to be completely off of the nic by Christmas. Since I have stopped smoking I have stopped doing other things. Hacking up gross stuff in the morning, wheezing after walking a short walk, stinking like a ashtray and just generally feeling a lot better! I believe part of my success is due to several things. The cheaper cost of E-juice over ciggs, the unlimited flavors, and none of the side effects I had from the prescription drugs I took to try and stop. It makes me sick to know that the proposed actions seem penalize this type of product. I think this should be treated as a smoking cessation product, NOT a tobacco product. It seems weird to me that since it contains nicotene it is a tobacco product. Why aren’t gum and patches treated that way? Another thing is the great flavors available!! Marketed to kids? NO. I love fruits and candies and desserts don’t you? Alcohol has lots of flavors but they aren’t attacked for it. Seems rather silly to me. Please don’t tax e-juice to death or make it so expensive to make due to regulations it will no longer make it a great option to get other people off of ciggs just like me! If the e-juice were as expensive as my ciggs I would never have tried this to quit smoking. Limiting the use of e-juice to people over the age of 18 is good. I have never been to a store who hasn’t already made this a practice. I am proof that e-ciggs should be encouraged instead of discouraged in any way. Thankyou for taking the time to read my experience. Clint
