I’ve smoked since I was 15 with a brief cessation during Navy boot camp. I should have stayed quit then but I wanted that swimmy feel to first hit of nicotine that I remembered as a teen right out of bootcamp. Stupid move! Now I’m 44 years of age. As of April 29, 2013, I went to e-cigs for the first time following a co-worker. During the first two weeks, I had smoked two cigarettes to basically confirm nicotine strength of e-liquid. Since then, I’m strictly a e-cig user now. The frequency of severe head & chest colds have rapidly decreased. My weird eczema-like skin condition has now disappeared. I noticed the other day that I wasn’t out of breath walking up a steep hill at my job even being mildly over-weight. WaHoo! I must also add that during that season of my life, I was also going through some major life adjustments that probably would have made me go back to smoking if I didn’t have e-cigs to help me through the mental stress. I will NOT go back to regular tobacco.
