I was a three pack a day smoker and smoked for more than 35 years. A little over a year and a half ago I knew it was causing serious damage to my health and decided that I needed to quit. I had previously tried patches and gums but they simply did not work for me and I returned to smoking within a few days. This time around I decided to give vapor a try. This has really worked well for me. I am using a mod and various flavors of liquids, mostly in the 18mg/L strength and find that it satisfies my cravings and habit just fine. I would like to say that I have quit cigarettes entirely, but a 35+ year habit can be hard to break and do still smoke some cigarettes. I am currently down from three packs/day to about 2 packs/week and expect to be entirely cigarette free in the very near future. I often go for several days at a time without any cigarettes at all. As I have been trying to improve my overall health and fitness, exercise has become part of my normal routine. Since switching over to vapor and drastically reducing my use of cigarettes I can breath much better, am able to run much, much farther without getting winded, and have been able to lose more than sixty pounds of excess weight. I could never have achieved my current weight and fitness level while still smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. I no longer suffer from that morning smoker’s cough, my blood pressure has returned to normal from being very high, and my chronic sinus issues have improved dramatically, and I sleep much better now. Over all I have to say that using vapor as a substitute for tobacco has been the best thing I have ever done for my health.
