My name is Brad cross im 28 and I first tried smoking at age 13 and was a full time smoker by age 17 I was a pack a day smoker by that age and when I decided to quit I was up to 2 packs a day the reason I decided to stop I was having chest pains. So I went to the doctor to see what was going on and they did xrays and found that my lungs where very swollen from the smoke and my air passages where becoming plugged from the tar and he told me if I did not stop that in 5to10years my lungs where going to stop working and I would have to use oxygen for the rest of my life so that was it for me time to quit so I tried the patch no luck tried gum an inhailer candy’s perscribed meds nothing worked so about 4months ago now I decided to buy an e cig and have never looked back iv been totally tobacco free since and I can breath again and my lungs are clearing up and as a added bonus I used to suffer from chronic acid reflux witch is totally gone now so now im no longer taking the meds for that in my opinion e cigs saved my life and id recommend them to any one and think it’s totally uncalled for to take a life saving product out of the hands of the public or to try to make them hard to obtain by stupid prescription regulations
