I’m a 41 year old female who has been smoking since the age of 13 years old. I was able to only quit when I was pregnant with my son in 1998. I’ve tried several times to stop smoking cigarettes in many various ways and techniques which are the following ways, Cold turkey, patches, prescriptions,Inhalers, nicotine gum. I just recently had gotten some testing done at the doctors office , and discovered that I was positive for hepatitis c. I was then advised by my doctor about some treatments that I could take part in, but I have to be qualified to become involved in a new study that has a good success rate to the study. I unfortunately have to stop smoking cigarettes for a least 6 months before I’m able to begin this process. I’ve failed miserably with these terms and conditions my doctor has advised for me to do, so, I’m having to start this all over again. My doctor did make an outstanding idea that would allow me to begin my 6 month grace period in using the electronic e-cigarettes. He even said the e-liquid could be any flavor I choose to smoke. so I had invested in the products and I began my 6 month time line. I’ve quit smoking cigarettes now for almost 6 months now. I enjoy all the flavors that are available in the market today. I’m even making my own flavors now to use myself and with my friends. So, making this all go away would be deviating not only to my situation, but to thousands of other patients who need to also start this treatment plan. I will fight the fight for my life and your life and be a voice to many who are in the same situation that I’m in. Thank you for letting me share my story and I hope this will help keep this as a option for those who make this choice to there situation.
