I started smoking at the age of 10 yrs. I am 48 yrs old. I started vaping about 2 months ago. Prior to that I was smoking upwards of 3 packs a day. I have tried quitting numerous times, I tried cold turkey, medications that made me depressed, suicidal, homicidal or just sicker than I had imagined I could be, the patch and the gum. Nothing worked and I always went back to the cigarettes within a few weeks. When I started vaping they suggested I start with 18 mgs of nicotine, I said no I want 12mg and that’s what I vaped for two weeks. At the end of two weeks I went down to 10 mgs, another two weeks and I went down to 8mgs. I haven’t touched a cigarette in over 3 weeks, my blood pressure has come down to norm, reducing the need for medication, my blood glucose average has come down from 7.1 to 5.5 thus further reducing my need for medication. I can breathe better, I feel better than ever before, I can walk further and not have to sit down and catch my breath like before. My doctor fully supports my choice even says that this is the best thing I could be doing for myself! I will continue to vape even after I have weaned myself off the nicotine because I enjoy it that much!
