I am 33 years old and had my first cigarette when I was 10 years old. I progressively started smoking more and by 14 years old I was a pack a day smoker. I attempted to quit when I was 20 and had some success with hypnotism but I always struggled with the mental obsession and within a few years was a full time smoker again – smoking 2 packs a day. At 26 I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Asthma and the beginning stages of COPD. Breathing was a constant struggle and I would get bronchitis 2-3 times a year. But I was unable to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes. Over the next 6 years I attempted to quit using multiple options including support groups; cold turkey; patches; the drug store e-cig ‘Blu’ (both generic and name brand); and Chantix – but none of them relieved the craving or the physical habit. I might be able to go a few days but I always went back to smoking cigarettes. Many of those options I tried on several occasions throughout the years going back and forth. When I was 32 I had given up hope that I would ever stop smoking and resigned myself to that fact. Around my birthday I was introduced to a form of nicotine liquid that could be customized to my habit. The flavor options were purer than what I got at the drugstores and the nicotine level was made to me specifically. In the beginning I gravitated to the tobacco flavors such as Honey Tobacco and Cherry Tobacco. But I experimented with other flavors such as candy and berries and cakes. Within a month, I noticed that a pack of cigarettes was consistently lasting me a week then within another month a pack would last me 2 weeks. Within 3 months I was tobacco free. When I got a mental craving I would use one of the sweet tobacco flavors but for daily use I leaned more towards the dessert flavors. I have now been tobacco free for 1 year and I no longer even want the tobacco flavors. My preference is the dessert flavors and feel no need to go back to any tobacco flavors. In the beginning I was vaping the liquid quite a lot but today I only take a few vape breaks and its still more for the habit since there is barely any nicotine. Once I stopped smoking cigarettes my nicotine needs started dropping and now I am down to the most minimal amount of nicotine. I believe I will be nicotine free within a couple more months. In fact, I went away for a weekend and forgot my vape at home and didn’t even realize until I got to my destination and was completely ok for the weekend. I went to the doctor and I no longer have asthma, nor any stage of COPD. I have gotten a normal cold twice since I began using this e-liquid but it never went to my lungs. I even started jogging on a regular basis.
