I started smoking when I was 12 years old. I started having lung problems when I was 25 years old as a direct result of analog tobacco usage. I lost 25% function of my right lung and 75% function of my left lung. I have a color print out of my lungs at the time of this diagnosis from a body scan Idid in La Jolla Ca. I tried to quit smoking on a regular basis since I was told this information. I was unsuccessful every time I tried to quit which was a continous attemp. I tried the nicotine patch which made me sick and gave me a terrible rash where I applied the patch. I tried Chantix 3 times and to no avail. I also tried the nicotine gum which worked for 1 year but I had to stop chewing the gum due to the damage it did to my teeth and I got a severe case of TMJ. I still get injections in my jaw for the damage done. In any case, I smoked for another 11 years making my chain smoking career 24 years long. In 2011 I took care of my father in law who died in my arms at home from lung cancer. He cursed cigarettes with his last breath but smoked until his last breath as well because he could not stop no matter the consequences. He started smoking when he was 9 years old and died at age 72. His death was a torturous one and unbearable to witness. I was desperate to quit after this and a friend of mine introduced me to the E-cig May 9th 2012. I couldnt believe what I was experiencing and rushed out to purchase my first one from Vapure in Oceanside. I left my last pack of cigarettes there as I left and I have not had one single drag of an analog cigarette since. My lungs have repaired themselves and I am able to run again. I could no longer climb a flight of stairs without losing my breath at the end of my smoking career, was wheezing terribly and coughing up black lung matter every day. Since I quit I am able to run 3 miles a day and workout on a regular basis. My skin has cleared and my energy is high!! I owe my life to this product and I have proof of the good e-cigs have had on my health. I am awaiting new body scan pictures so that I can submit them as an after picture to the one I have from 2001. My thoughts on e-cigs is that they are saving lives. They saved mine and countless others. It is scary to me that the government would rather have 430,000 people die every year all because they profit from Big Tobacco money. E-cigs are anti-tobacco and were developed by the people for the people so that we can live!! The brick and mortars that brought this to the people will all be out of business if you keep the grandfather date 2007. This was designed to put all the people who brought e-cigs to our communities out of business so Big Tobacco can take over as the profiteers. Please consider changing that date.
