Like other people I have tried many methods of quitting smoking cigarettes. (the patch,cold turkey and the nicoreete gum) Almost 4 months ago I had a possible mini stroke that scared me to death but being addicted to cigarettes wasn’t easy. It isn’t easy to quit.I smoked for 25+ years at 1 1/2 – 2 packs a day. I knew about vaping and gave it a try because I knew I wouldn’t be able to quit cold turkey and other methods have failed time and time again. Since I have been using the vapor I have no urges to pick up a cigarette. I haven’t smoked in 3 1/2 months and this time it feels so much better then when i have tried to quit before. I am not stressed out or craving a smoke. Life is good! My blood pressure and cholesterol have gone down. There is no doubt that the vapor is saving my life. I am very upset with the FDA making it difficult for people like myself to better their health. With all the fear mongering and their cash crops (tobacco ect) all they fear is loosing money and keeping people on the cancer wards (multi-billion dollar industry! Why would they want to stop it?!) its just not fair its not like we all walk around high or drunk. I say to anyone reading this who doesn’t want to smoke cigarettes anymore this is a great alternative!
