I have smoked for 23 years. I have also used smokeless tobacco for about 13 of those years. I have tried quitting smoking multiple times in the past, patches, gum, drugs and nothing ever worked for me. Last year I went to my Dr. and he mentioned switching to e cigarettes as it would be better for me than a regular cigarette. I tried a cigarette looking e cigarette and it was awful, it was nothing like a cigarette, so I kept on smoking and dipping. I went to my Dr. again last month and again he mentioned the e cigarette. This time I went to then internet and researched the other e cigarette alternatives. I found multiple videos that showed much better alternatives to smoking. I purchased one for my wife, who has smoked for 20 years and one for myself. These were the Ego style batteries with a clearomizer. That was a month ago and since then my wife and I have quit smoking and I have also quit smokeless tobacco. I am now telling all my smoker friends and co-workers to switch to e cigarettes to quit smoking real cigarettes. This breaks smoking into 2 manageable parts, the nicotine addiction and the habit of putting something in one’s mouth. My wife and I are on a plan to taper nicotine down to zero and then break the habit of something in our mouths. We purchase our supplies online so that we can get the best price and the greatest variety . I fear that if we cannot get our e cigarette supplies we may have to go back to smoking real cigarettes. I agree that children shouldn’t purchase nicotine products and they need to list ingredients on the e liquid but to limit the devices to having to pay a costly fee to get FDA approval will drive the price of these devices through the roof and as a former smoker we were always broke so we wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy the devices to start using e cigarettes.
