I began smoking cigarettes at the age of 12. I smoked on and off regularly until I was 48 years old, trying to quit numerous ways. I tried cold turkey, nicotine gum and nicotine patches. The smoking cessation products were effective for a very short period of time. Usually, when I would use these, I would be back smoking cigarettes within a couple weeks. E-cigarettes are saving my life. I realize that I have a hand to mouth addiction that other smoking cessation products CAN NOT satisfy. E-cigarettes satisfy the habit completely. They are also working for my wife. She was a pack a day smoker for over 25 years. She began using e-cigarettes and quit completely. The health benefits have been amazing for both of us. We can both breathe easier, neither of us wake up in the middle of the night coughing and we just feel better in general. This has prompted both of us to begin a healthier lifestyle all around. It is easier now to exercise. From a social acceptance standpoint, people in general seem more accepting of e-cigarettes because there is no smell. I have begun to preach all the positive experiences and health benefits to friends, family and co-workers who smoke. I have now converted several individuals, including my mother in law who had smoked for over 60 years. Her energy level and overall health improved markedly after one week. My goal with e-cigarettes is to reduce my overall nicotine intake over time and eventually try to quit using nicotine all together. I have already stepped my use from 24mg juice to 12. This is the first product I have ever used that I feel 100% positive will work for me. All other products have failed. I am a true believer in these because they are saving my life.
