I am 68 years old. I started smoking when I was 14 years old. I smoked for years, then decided to try and quit. I first tried cold turkey, which didn’t work at all for me. Next I tried nicotine gum. I did quit smoking for a month, but was miserable the entire time, so went back to smoking. Next I tried nicotine patches, but had horrible nightmares so soon gave that up, and back to smoking. I went for hypnosis to quit smoking and that didn’t work either. Finally I tried Chantix and quit smoking for 4 months, but always was wanting a cigarette. I felt it wasn’t worth it so went back to smoking. Then a relative told me about e-cigarettes. I ordered some from my freedom smokes, smoked my last two packages of cigarettes and started on my e-cigarettes. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I have not had a cigarette since. I use joyetech 1000 batteries and us red liquid with 36 mg nicotine. I do not even want a cigarette. My e-cigarette is all I need. No more smelly smoke, no burn holes, and best of all, no cough. Before giving up cigarettes I had a chronic cough that was getting really bad.. After starting e-cigarettes the cough is gone. I breathe easier also. I cannot say enough good about e-cigarettes. I think they literally saved my life. When I am with people that are non smokers, they say they do not smell anything from my e-cigarette and it does not bother them at all. Last, but not least, if e-cigarettes are banned, it will be doing a huge dis-service to a lot of people. It is healthier for us and not bothering anyone else.. Please leave us alone.
