I started smoking when I was 9 years old. Grew up in tobacco country, NC. Smoked daily for 41 years. I tried to quit numerous times. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, pharmaceuticals (Chantix, never again), cold turkey. I successfully quit for a period of two years after retiring from the military. Failed again and went back to smoking for another ten years. I am 50 years old and had started to really feel the effects of long term smoking. I heard about vaping after attending my daughter’s wedding. No smoking was allowed on the premises and I had to walk two blocks away from the property just to have a smoke. I noticed some family member vaping in the lobby of the venue and nobody was complaining about them. After chatting about vaping and all their enthusiastic promotion about the health benefits, I decided to give it a try. That was over a month ago. I haven’t wanted a cigarette since. Can’t stand the smell anymore. I can breath better, smell food, taste food, and have more energy than I’ve had in years. Saving a bunch of money too!
