I am a 46 year old e-cig consumer. I smoked cigarettes for 28 years of my life. They were my best friend. I have been vaping now for 3 years. I tried RX meds, patches even hypnosis to try to quit smoking but none of that worked. The only thing that worked was my e-cig. I do not smoke cigarettes at all now. When I started vaping I did not smoke at all. Chantix was the only thing that came close to helping me stop smoking but it still did not work. I know someone has to want to stop before they can but with the e-cig it is not like you are stopping anything as far as habit goes because it can offer so much more freedoms. You don’t have the smell that comes with smoking and you can easily go in a restroom and vape or in your car. For me it helped because I would not smoke in my house due to the smell but now I can vape while watching T.V. and other inside activities and if I want to vape while visiting someone at a hospital I have that freedom. It is the only way I have ever been able to put down cigarettes. The changes in my quality of life have been nothing but positive since I chose to use vaping as my smoke free alternative.
