I had been a smoker for well over 30 years. I had tried to quit in the past using a variety of different things. Then I heard about electronic cigs. I was extremely skeptical about it. I read a LOT of material online and spoke with real people that I knew switched to get their insight. I was convinced that nothing could ever take the place of my analog cigs. I was dead wrong. Since I made the switch, my sense of smell has increased, food tastes fantastically better, I actually feel better. I have more energy. I have started working out on a regular basis. I am not short of breath, my clothes and hair don’t stink. Electronic cigs, or vaping is the absolute bomb! I have converted quite a number of my friends that were long time smokers as well. The only two reasons people would be against this is because of complete ignorance which is due to a lack of knowledge, and the fact that the tobacco industry will lose billions of dollars in revenue if people make the switch. I urge smokers everywhere to give it a try. The biggest hurdle to overcome will be the psychological aspect of it. You are not addicted to anything but the nicotine. Vaping and ecigs replace the burning of tobacco in favor of atomizing it. No smell, no ash, no harmful side effects. I have been vaping since January of 2014. I am now a poster child for ecigs. I try to convert as many people as I can.
