I have been a smoker for 25 years, but since switching to electronic cigarettes, I have not smoked a real cigarette in 16 days. The first brand I tried was a disposable e-cig from a drug store. I was disappointed with it but intrigued by the concept of e-cigs. The second brand I tried was a rechargeable model from a gas station. I had better luck with this one but I still wanted to see if I could find a better quality product. I searched online and bought a starter kit and extras from a reputable company. I am very happy with it! I now have no desire to smoke. In fact, the thought of lighting up a real one makes me gag! E-cigs have truly killed my desire to smoke real cigarettes. My breath, hair, clothing, and home now all smell clean and fresh, and I feel so much healthier already. My ‘vaping’ habit will cost under $30 per month, compared to around $300 per month for real cigs. I can sure do a lot with an extra few hundred bucks a month! It seems the concern over electronic cigarettes is their safety. From what I have ascertained, all chemicals found in e-cigs are also found in traditional cigarettes, to a far lesser degree. The thousands of chemicals and carcinogens found in tobacco smoke do not exist in e-cigs. No matter the slight if any risk from e-cigs, consider the deadly alternative of tobacco products. I will continue to take my chances with electronic cigarettes. Now if I can get my adult children to switch to e-cigs from cigarettes, I will be a happy mom indeed!
