I smoked from age 17 – now 38 years ago. As a diabetic I realised the need to stop smoking some years ago, and managed to cut a 40 a day habit to 20 a day. With little real urge to quit, I went through counselling sessions and used Nrt. Despite giving up for short periods I always started smoking again. Some months ago I tried rechargeable cigarettes and found them to be generally better than tobacco, but over time found they burned my throat too much. After sampling a relative’s EGo, I recently purchased my own. I immediately found them smoother and more pleasant than tobacco. I have very quickly switched away from tobacco. Immediate benefits were a lack of wheezing, and loss of the smell of tobacco, which was becoming an irritation to my ex-smoker wife. I have always been a walker, with no blood pressure issues, but have recently noticed quicker loss of breath. Time will tell, but that seems to have reduced since I have started using vape instead of tobacco. Irritations, such as taking smoke break while driving no longer apply as I can smoke in the car without irritating anybody. Many UK pubs have banned gaping, however there are many no smoking areas where there is no problem.
