After smoking for 48 years I’d given up any hope of ever quitting. I LIKED smoking, just not that it was bad for me. The next best thing to quitting would be at least to cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked. So, after researching quite a bit on the internet, I ordered an eCigarette that looked like a cigarette. It was so shocking that vaping was so similar to smoking that I didn’t finish my pack of cigarettes that was open right next to me! I accidently quit smoking cigarettes! To make sure I stuck with vaping I did get a much better set up that was easier to use because I didn’t want to let frustration with the equipment to end up discouraging me. Within the first week of vaping I had no more wheezing and chest rattle when I went to bed, no more hacking cough and I haven’t had my usual chest colds since starting vaping. Coincidence? Now when I go for my annual physical I can take a full deep breath for the doctor without having a coughing fit. My lungs are clear and my doctor is very happy for me. And after living 300 ft above sea level I was quite surprised to be able to easily handle hiking in the mountains at almost 7000 ft. Here I am, 22 months later and haven’t had a single cigarette and all I wanted to do was to cut down! From 24 mg of nic I am down to 12 mg nic without trying very hard because I did it at my own pace. Sometimes before bed I vape a flavor with 0 nic. Of course it helps that I mix my own juice so that I have what I enjoy. My only regret is that I have 2 friends with serious smoking related medical problems and I can’t get them to even try vaping. I can’t guarantee that vaping would work for them, but obviously smoking cigarettes is only making them worse.
