I began smoking casually at 14 and around 16 progressed to a pack and a half a day smoker, Marlboro Reds. When my son began noticing my habit I took quitting more seriously than ever before. In the past I had tried several methods to quit, patches, gum, Welbutrin, Chantix none of them I was successful with. When I heard of Vaping or e-cigs I decided to give that a try. I found a store, purchased a vape and a small supply of juice and never looked back. I quit smoking right then and there. It was remarkable, nothing short of amazing how it completely replaced cigarettes. It took minimal will power to not smoke at first, just a slight conscious shift of mind similar to maybe someone deciding to substitute whole milk for 2%. After just a couple of days the smell of smoke nauseated me and I couldnt believe how I never realized before just how terrible cigarette smoke truly is. I quit Dec 16th 2013 & im coming up on my 5 month anniversary cigarette free. I vape minimally now, the genius of it is how you can ween yourself off the nicotine without hardly noticing. I found myself going most of my work day without even thinking of my vape. Im puffing on my vape only a few times a day and using the lowest level of nocotine available. My family is so proud of me andso am I. I would have never believed it had someone said a pack and a half a day smoker for more than ten years could quit without even trying but its true.
