Hello my name is Bryan and I’m doing this to help spread the word and hopefully help someone else. I started smoking at 12 years old I grew up in a family of smokers to give you a range of how long I smoked I’ll be 34 in a few months. At first it was cool hanging out with friends after school in the woods someone always had a pack even in middle school.through out the years I went from a pack lasting me two weeks till my mom found out and I didn’t have to hide it to a pack lasting me a week after highschool and was working I was up to a pack and a half a day and stayed that way till I switched over to e cigarettes. I went through my phrases of cigars and even the old fashion pipe with the mind set of it will help me cut back and quit at some point but always need up back on the smokes. Now to be completely honest I tried e cigs before it just didn’t work for me (that was last year) and there where times when I smoked I tried to quit but couldn’t till about five months ago. I had woken up one morning and the smell of my ashtray made me gag it made me ill . So after spraying down my apartment with febrez I charged up my e cig from the year before and never looked back this has been the longest time since I was 12 that I have not had a tobacco cigarette I have even got other long time smokers to make the switch and quit smoking and even vaping altogether. The real reason I’m telling my story is to help with this movement I have lost loved ones to cigarettes and if this was around and the many opinions in flavors one has to Vape could and can help anyone quit and kick the habit. In closing I would like to say this to the committees and government officials to be realistic I know we like to live in a fairy tale world and always looking for a scapegoat for the woes of this society vaping and e cigs do not invite children to smoke or Vape its because they choose to no law you pass will ever stop that but I ask do not punish people and try to take away a device or a system that have helped many of people final kick the smoking habit
