I smoked since I was 16 years old and I am 36 this year. I loved smoking but hated the side effects, the smell, being a social outcast and because they were killing me. I wanted to quit smoking for those reasons but I still loved having a cigarette and couldn’t quit. I tried cold turkey, gum, lozenges but I would always end up going to the corner store for another pack after going crazy for a real cigarette. Around the Christmas season of 2012 I looked into E-Cigs and bought a disposable, it really was terrible and didn’t curb my craving for real cigarettes because as I found out later, it was zero nicotine. But the action and feel of inhaling was at least similar to a real cigarette so I decided to try other brands of cigarette alike e-cigs, they were better as they contained nicotine but still very disappointing. After doing more research I found that there are more powerful e-cigarettes available they are referred to as eGo style e-cigarettes and the accessories they are used with are what I was finally able to use to completely quite smoking tobacco. On May 1st 2013 I had my last tobacco cigarette and have no had the craving for, or the want to ever smoke a traditional cigarette ever again thanks to electronic cigarettes. Since switching to electronic cigarettes with vapor instead of the smoke I was getting before, my coughing has vanished, my congested lungs have cleared, I can walk up a flight of stairs without needing to catch my breath. The only negative in my entire experience switching to e-cigs was that I now have a new hobby I need to make time for! (Which is really quite fun, and not really a negative!)
