I have been addicted to nicotine for 16 years. First was smokeless tobacco, and over the last four years was cigarettes. I’ve tried multiple times to quit, by using gum, cold turkey, lozenges, cutting back, but none of them worked well. I would go for a period of time without cigarettes, but would quickly and easily pick them back up when some one was around to smoke with. About six months ago, I began vaping. I currently use different flavors, almost all the time with a little bit of a nicotine flavor, and an 18mg of nicotine mixture. I have cut back on smoking to less than six cigarettes per month and even that cuts back constantly. Since I began vaping, I enjoy the different flavors I can get, I like not smelling like cigarettes, and being able to be satisfied, because I still have the action of smoking and some nicotine. I have found myself eating healthier and exercising more since vaping. I also realized I have much more energy. Cigarette use has cut back to next to nothing, and continues to cut back, because I now feel gross when I’m even around a smoker. I have also saved hundreds of dollars by going to vaping. My quality of life has improved immensely, as well as my health, and outlook on life.
