Smoked for nearly 27 years – joined the Air Force in 1986 and was a light smoker than – well – became more and more of a smoker after that. Tried many times to quit – here and there for a month – never took. Smoked more and more. Came across e-cigs. Didn’t give much credit to them initially as they were so rudimentary at that time – but, come January of 2013, I got serious about them – turned it kind of into a hobby with buying mods and devices – but – I haven’t had a single cigarette – not ONE – since 29 January 2013. I was at about 2 packs per day then – so….goodbye to stinkies!. I feel a hell of a lot better since quitting – although my teeth don’t love it as they have blood now (apparently they didn’t then!) – small price to pay. Wish this had come years ago – I do not miss cigarettes at all. One thing that is amazing is how bad smokers stink – I didn’t know that! We all know that any regulation regarding e-cigs is meant to protect the tobacco industry – and the tax dollars. I have very little faith that people in charge of regulation actually care about PEOPLE – they care about DOLLARS and their special interests. E-cigs are something that – honestly – you should not try to regulate – because your attempts to do so are transparent – your reasoning to do so is obvious. IF you care about PEOPLE that want to quit tobacco – leave it ALONE. IF you care about big business and such – do as you will – and that is what I expect you will do because my faith in our current government is ZERO – they do not CARE about PEOPLE – only MONEY and POWER.
