I smoked for 44 years. I started when I was 18. I had no negative effects from smoking, and as a result had no desire to quit. I was introduced to ecigs in Vegas and found them very realistic, I was only interested in them because my son’s wife was pregnant and having my first grandchild. I knew I would not be allowed to see the baby if I were still smoking. I went online and ordered a Joye 501 kit. I used that, or another brand of ecig, until I found the Joye Stick. I used that untill it was no longer available. I now use 801 batteries with the atomizer for the Joye stick. I smoked, only occasionally, If the ecigs failed from a weak battery or vaporizor. This story began about 5 years ago. I have smoked less than a carton in that time and have not had a cigarette in about a year. I know this because I had several cartons when I started, and still have one left. I highly prefer vapor. It has a more satisfying flavor than my (now) stale cigarettes. Plus, it is much cheaper. As for the baby: I have two grandchildren now and, due to the demonization of ecigs, I have not seen either of them. I am so tired of people trying to control the lives of others. And upset that our government and the media manufactures ammunition for these righteous assholes to use. To sum it up: I enjoy vaping, it is cheaper than smoking, and I have no desire to quit!!
