I was a smoker in my early years I started when I was 18 and smoked up until my late 30’s. I realized the dangers behind smoking as I was having issues with breathing, always coughing, My doctor had suggested many times I needed to quit. So what I did was turned to snuff chewing tobacco (Copenhagen-wintergreen) and eventually did quit smoking took several months. I would say in 2012 I started to notice some of my teeth were rotting out from 2012 I lost 4 teeth do to the rotting. The right side of my upper gums are black and I fear I might be loosing more teeth. 3 months ago in May I did loose one more tooth and another split down the middle breaking off the back side. I decided I wanted to quit chewing tobacco but couldn’t quit cold turkey. So a friend of mine had asked if I ever heard of the electronic cigarettes of course my reaction was nope, so being the researcher that I am I started googling information about it. after my research I decided to give it a go, that was approx.. 2 months ago in June, I am proud to say that from the first day I started using the e-cigarettes, I have not used any from of chewing tobacco or cigarettes, I am free from them. I then took it further recently in the last couple weeks and to get myself the battery and tanks where I fill them myself and I buy local made e-juice from a small shop down the road where he makes the juice himself. I have also turned 2 of my family members (2 Nieces that are ages 21-25) they too have also gave up smoking regular cigarettes and are vaping the same e-juice. I will eventually quit vaping the e-juice in time, I started at a level of nicotine of 18MG and am now using 6MG over the course of a couple weeks. I do not experience and bad side effects from using the e-juice, I am also working out and on a fast track of getting healthy again!
