I was raised in the era of the Marlboro Man, when smoking was portrayed as cool and sophisticated, and the big tobacco companies flatly denied (lied) that I could be harmed by their product; By the time they spoke the truth I had a habit that was impossible to shake – I would literally climb the walls if I was denied a cigarette…. and I tried unsucessfully for years to kick the habit. Then, eight weeks ago, I spotted a mate smoking an eGO-C electronic cigarette. After explaining to me the theory behind the ecig my mate offered me a draw on his……I felt convinced I could shake the habit with the use of an ecig after just one puff so I purchased one immediately.I am pleased to say that I have not smoked a solitary cigarette since the day my vape arrived. I will not have anyone tell me that this is an unsafe alternative to analogues – after only eight weeks my chest feels ten years younger, I have more stamina, my senses, taste and smell, are already reverting back to what they should be, I have extra dollars in my pocket at the end of the week and most importantly, I may even get to spend a few extra years with my wonderful children! Global governments are seriously crazy if they want to stiffle this techology, I would say to those governments forget the taxes and regulations and be happy with the amazing social health benefits and the huge dollars saved on medical intervention and/or treatments as compared to those ‘proven killers’, analogue cigarettes. I foresee the day when analogue cigarettes are illegal and vaping is the socially acceptable norm.
