My wife and I smoked for over twenty years. We wanted to quit and tried every option available. We tried gum, the patch, and even Wellbutrin. The patch made me queasy, my wife found nicotine gum ineffective. The Wellbutrin was the worst, it caused first my wife, and then me to suffer horrible anxiety attacks. We tried quitting cold turkey, many times. Nothing worked and we would always resume smoking. A friend suggested vaping with an e-cigarette. We were skeptical at first and a bit concerned about what was in them. But I did my research and found that the ingredients were regarded as safe and even used in asthma inhalers We tried it. And e-cigarettes (vaping) worked. It worked the first time and we are no longer smoking. We have been smoke free for over a year and a half now. We will never smoke again. E-cigarettes saved our lives.
