I was a heavy smoker for over 10 years. I made a promise to my wife that I would quit smoking once I separated from the US Military. I tried using NRT products as a smoking cessation aid, counseling, and other methods of quitting for a few years and could not kick the habit because I enjoyed smoking cigarettes. It was a treat, a reward, during the day. My smoking breaks segmented my day and allowed me to reflect, socialize and relax in my routing. My wife ran across a kiosk and saw these electronic cigarettes one day and decided to tell me about them. That night I went online and did some research on different products, to make sure I was going to give it the best shot I could. I purchased a few different kits and within a few days, I had them in hand. I opened and began using them that day and have not smoked a single cigarette since. I have new routines, can still be social around others smoking without feeling like i am missing out, and take my breaks where I would not have been able to if I wanted to smoke. I told my parents and brothers about the products and they have not only stopped smoking from day one, but they also stopped using electronic cigarettes in whole. I can’t count how many people I have preached to over the last few years and have been able to completely quit or at a minimum, reduce by a large margin their tobacco intake. As of now, It has been 5 and a half years since I made one of the best decisions of my life. My health has increased in numerous ways which is important for me as a firefighter. I no longer smell like smoke when I am dealing with patients in the ambulance. My family is not subjected to any of the dangers of smoking. The best part of the entire story is that I never really wanted to quit smoking, but these products just made it so easy that it was barely even a decision.
