My name is Eric, a 25 year old ecig user. from the age of 16 to 24 i was a smoker and for the last few years of my smoking i was on a pack a day at 11 dollars a pack in NYC. on top of that my heath was deteriorating (could not run or taste anything) and one day a friend of mine told me about ecigs and how she was trying it out, i thought it was a load of ****. Latter on i want to go look it up and see if it really was & it wasn’t. I ended up getting the NJOY and i started just using it when i didn’t feel like going outside to smoke. One day i realized i want 3 days smoke free and i did this on and off for about a year. I used a few different brands till i found something i was comfortable with. Now i can gladly say i am a almost 2 years smoke free and feeling better. Now this is the thing i liked smoking,i liked the feeling i got from it. Now i am in love with vaping and i am getting my first mod soon and i do not plan on stopping and my girlfriend(a complete non-smoker), mother, friends and family are more then ok with it. My mother is even started her self. and i will NOT go back to tobacco! I feel so much betting and i enjoy vaping soooooo much more (I CAN BREATH AND RUN AGAIN) and i do not feel like i lost something i loved doing, i feel like a moved to something better. P.S. i am well aware on the fact that nicotine is additive and it has side effect just like everything drug of its kind. and i live in bronx ny.
