I started smoking at age 17 back in high school. I am now 45. I had tried to quit a few times before. The most successful was when I had used both the nicotine patch and welabutrin. I was fine as long as I used both products but after I quit using the patch after three months my cravings returned. I was only able to quit for 6 months before I started back up again. When I purchased my first electronic cigarette back in 2001 I had expected to use it to reduce my cravings and replace normal cigarettes. I would have been happy if I was able to cut back normal cigarettes 50% over a three month period. I was very surprised when the very next day I only smoked three, and I was down to three cigarettes a week by the end of the first month. Shortly after that I didn’t feel the need for a cigarette at all. Using my e-cig had completely replaced smoking normal cigarettes. My sense of smell and taste returned over the next couple of months and my breathing improved substantially. I had not realized the effect normal cigarettes had on me. I truly believe that electronic cigarettes are the best way to quit smoking available. It’s not so much the nicotine that you are addicted to with normal cigarettes, it’s the countless other chemicals and the hand to mouth habit that you form. You are able to replace that habit with a MUCH healthier alternative using e-cigs. I have helped a few other people quit smoking by using an e-cig and they are all very happy with their progress. Please do not impose any additional form of regulation on this new and developing industry. I’m afraid it will make these products more costly, make them harder to find and reduce innovation. Thank you for your time, Ken G
