I started smoking cigarettes around 15, over 20 years ago. Initially, I smoked around a few cigarettes a day. By the age of 16, I was smoking at least a pack a day. I tried quitting multiple times throughout the years. I tried Nicolette gum and failed miserably. I tried patches and failed. The only aid, aside ecigs, which produced results was cold turkey, but that only lasted for around one week. I cannot recall the exact date, but around 4 years ago, I was introduced to electric cigs. Only the pen version and the cigarette look alike were available then. Initially, I would use my ecig and still smoke, but I gradually reduced my cigarette intake, until I simply had no desire for cigarettes anymore; cigarettes would literally make me feel nauseated. I am still vaping, quit my smoking habit completely and feel much healthier. Nearly every year, which my medical records can attest too, I would contract bronchitis, or some lung infection and had to take antibiotics. I was literally going down hill. I am confident ecigs saved my life.
