Well, it first started off when I was 17, I started hanging out with people who smoked a lot and always pressured me into doing it. I saw my parents suffer from being addicts to cigarettes, so I didn’t really want to do it. Eventually, I gave into my friends and did it one time. One time turned into everyday, which then turned into almost a pack a day. I had no energy, I smelled gross, and you could tell I was suffering from that addiction. I am now 19 years old and happy to say that I have been cigarette free for 6 months and am not looking back. Six months ago, I was introduced to e-cigarettes and tried to gain as much knowledge about them as I could before I tried it out. I eventually wanted to try it and started out at a 24mg nicotine level. Today I am at a 12mg nicotine level and feel great. I am able to taste things again, have more energy, smell great, and can do it around my family and friends without harming them with secondhand smoke. I’ve never had a complaint from anyone about my vaping, and I think it comes from taking my knowledge and then educating them. This is a great way to grow support for e-cig usage and/or to help them make the switch to e-cigs. I see this community grow stronger everyday, and I’m proud to say that I am helping that. Helping people get their lifes back, just like I did those six months ago.
