have been smoking for over 15 years. switched to electronic ciggs after trying a cold turkey approach that didnt work. loved it i was smoke free for about 8 months then i started back on smoking as i was using other smoke related drugs. now i am sober again and back on the vape. smoking on its own is just disgusting and smells real bad. i wish i never started smoking . i started with 24 mg nicotine but always cut down as it masks the awsome flavours in my opinion. i am on 12mg now but plan to cut down
