I started smoking at 1 years old, and smoked 2+ packs a day for 45 years. I tried to quit many times using many methods (counseling, hypnotherapy, gum, patches, inhalers…), but never managed to stay smoke-free for more than 24 hours. I thought I would NEVER be able to quit. Even as my health deteriorated more and more, I could not break tobacco’s grip on me. After my first heart attack, I knew I had to find a way to stop smoking – or die. It was through the use of Vaping that I was finally able to stop smoking forever. I’ve now been smoke-free for the first time in over 40 years. AND I FEEL GREAT! The idea that anyone would want to outlaw vaping is ludicrous… and I find it personally insulting, a violation of my God-given rights to chose my own destiny. Vaping *IS* a viable Nicotine Replacement Therapy (the *only* one as far as I’m concerned). The idea that fruity flavors are aimed at recruiting children to vape is way off base. I tried to quit smoking by vaping tobacco flavored juices, and found them to be unappealing and unsuitable, preferring a DIY mix of honey-peach w/wintergreen. I occasionally even vape tutti fruity as a change of pace. If vaping had been illegal/unavailable to me when I had my heart attack, I would most likely be dead today. Vaping as an effective NRT, has been a true God-send for me.
