I started smoking cigarettes when i was eight years old, my older cousin smoked and i thought it was cool. That was the early 80’s. I tried to quit many times through the years but always failed. I tried chantex, the patch, cold turkey. I got down to one pack a day at one point in time. When i quit smoking i was a few months short of smoking thirty years.What caused me to quit was the smoke shop where i got my cigarettes started carrying PVs, I had not tried this method of quieting so i bought one. That was Sept 9 of 2013, that was the last day i smoked a cigarettes. I would like to stress the point that the e-cigg method of quitting was different than before. The stress of not having a cigarette and the irritation was gone almost immediately. I can breath now. I don’t smell like an ashtray and my kids are thankful for that.The date today as i write this is Feb 1 2014 , 5 months with no ciggs. My hope in writing my story is to motivate others to see the benefits of this product, cigarette smokers, law makers, and nay Sayers.
