I smoked at least one pack a day of Marlboro Light 100s for almost 20 years. I had tried numerous times to quit using the Nicotine Patch, anti-depressants and nicotine gum. I failed every time. In December of 2012, my ex-husband sent me an electronic cigarette kit. I am proud to say that I have not had a single cigarette (or even a puff of a cigarette) since December of 2012. Not only have I saved a great deal of money, I am happier and healthier than I ever was before. At this point, I can’t imagine ever smoking again. I still use nicotine in my e-cig but my co-worker, who also quit smoking with an e-cig, has stopped inhaling nicotine altogether! While I understand regulating so that minors cannot use these devices, my concern is that the extensive regulation proposed today by the FDA will make selling and buying e-cigarettes prohibitively costly. One of the greatest selling points that I have used to get others to switch their cigarettes with an e-cigarette is that not only is it good for their health, but it is better for their wallet as well! In my workplace, four other people have switched from cigarettes to e-cigarettes in the last year. It would be tragic if over-regulation stopped this trend.
