I started sneaking smokes when I was ~5 yrs.old.By the time I was 10 I was a daily smoker.By the age of 14 I was already smoking at least a pack a day of marlboro reds. As I was entering my 40’s I had tried several times to quit on my own but was never successful for more than a week.My doctor had me try wellbutrin(sp) and the patch but neither were any more effective than trying to quit cold turkey. I had reached the point where any activity was causing me to have trouble breathing and when I lay down to rest I would have to lay a certain way just to be able to rest.Sometimes I needed to sleep in an upright position just to stay asleep without gasping.I had also started to wake up with a terrible cough and was producing large amounts of phlegm after I had been laying down. After completely switching to e-cigs all of these complaints have gone away and it only took a couple of weeks for the worst of it to disappear. My wife started telling me about ads she had seen and heard for e-cigs about 4 years ago and after a few months of looking for them in stores and online we finally ordered the Q 510 disposables as a way to see if it was something we would like to use.They were a good starting point but not good enough to get me off marlboro so I smoked and vaped for quite some time. As the technology advanced and I started getting into mods,I smoked less and less until finally I stumbled on a combination that has kept me off of cigs for almost 2 years.I’ve only had 1 relapse when I stayed with my mother at the hospital for over a week and didn’t have easy access to my e-cigs. Since then I have been back on e-cigs exclusively and have no desire to smoke at all. My wife wasn’t as impressed or as willing to tinker with them as I was so she is a more recent convert.The newer units are much more convenient and she has now made the switch completely but that’s her story for her to tell. I’m just glad that we are now both done with cigarettes and are both feeling healthier because of it!
