Three years ago. I made a huge lifestyle change. I decided to get healthy. Two years ago I decided to have weight loss surgery. Before my surgery my surgeon told me I had to stop smoking cigarettes if I wanted to proceed with the surgery. I knew this was going to difficult,because I was addicted to cigarettes for well over twenty years. I started out with e-cigs; you know the ones you get in the stores. Well that helped me a lot to finally kick the habit. I am living a healthier life because to decided to put my health first. I’ve been freed from the harmful habit of smoking two packs of cigarettes a week. I feel great and look great. My children are proud of me. I want to be around for them as long as possible. There is absolutely no downside to quitting smoking cigarettes. Vaping has helped me to extend my life here on earth with my four beautiful children and my two granddaughters. thank you for allowing me to share my journey cyrinthia212
