I was a smoker of 25 years. I had tried quitting many times, however each attempt failed. I went as far as taking prescription medication. That was a disaster, causing many other issues. In 2013 my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer due directly from smoking cigarettes. I knew we had to do something. That is when I decided to try vaping. It was too late for my mom. She lost her battle in 2014. I have now been vaping for 3 years. It has truly been a life saver for me. My health has improved. I no longer have a smokers cough. Vaping is a lifesaver for me.
