I started smoking at 16 yrs old. Today I am 66 years old. During the past 50 years I used nicotine patches without results, Nicotine gums were not helpful either, ( except in loosening some tooth fillings). I tried an e-cig while I had been smoking about 10 flavored cigars/day. I was very suprised that straight away I prefered the e-cig to my beloved cigars. The day after I bought an e-cig starter kit. I completly quit smoking the same day. I found my flavored cigars that I use to love to have become bad tasting. I threw away the ones I had left. It has been over three months and I never felt any desire smoke. Quite the opposite in fact, even second hand smoke irritates me. Guy
