I smoked for over 25 years and tried numerous times to stop using various methods: cold turkey, patches, gum, prescriptions, etc. I never could last over a week without terrible withdrawal symptoms or side effects from the medicine. I had just about given up on quitting but finally decided to give the vapor method a try. Smokers are very addicted to nicotine. Vaping allows you to still have nicotine and slowly reduce your dependence while still being able to smoke, thus allowing some stress relief. These are the reasons I think it worked for me and so many others. After almost 5 months of vaping (without a single cigarette!), I felt like a normal person again. I felt better, had more energy and I was becoming less and less dependent on it. Nothing smelled like smoke and I wasn’t counting down the time at work until my next break. Unfortunately a huge tornado blew my house away and the stress led me to start smoking again. I think if I had been smoke-free a little longer, I never would have started again. I am now ready to quit again and I know I will have great success with this product. I don’t believe the government has the right to regulate these products. Like anything else, people must use common sense in using the product and most people do. Government needs to regulate cigarettes more instead of the vapor industry. Cigarettes are killing people. Vaping is helping people to stop smoking and improve their health and quality of life.
