Started smoking at 16 with Winston. gradually went to weaker cigarettes and menthol. smoked two or more packs a day,but much of the time i would light one and lay it down to burn up [ while doing something else] [habit] knew all along i needed to quit and had tried several times but i enjoyed smoking. At sixty five i learned of e cigs and tried a few different ones battery and cartridge types not convenience store junk. unfortunately the wife liked smoking still and i went back to analogs with her for about a year i finally put my foot down when the cost got to be too much also e cigs had improved . we both have completely quit tobacco for more than three years. e cigs are much healthier, much less expensive. and we both have much less desire to even use them. I only wish that there wasn’t so much low quality misleading garbage e cig stuff out there which might turn someone trying them off.
