My nwme is joseph monczewski. Im only stating my real name so that this entry will be takne with the seriousness it deserves and the very seriousness it needs to benefit this upcoming turn of events we see on the horizon. I smoked from the age of 12 till 31, from day 1 I smoked over a pack a day of full flavored menthol cigarette. Why did I smoke them? Innititially I felt and thought it was cool. Whether it was instantly physical or instantly psychological, either way, I was instantly hooked. I loved it from the first drag. Big tobacco had me from the start, thats the facts. Without knowing or hearing of vapiing previously, I walked into a storefront sbowing iff these new fancy wares. I understand it was aeither a new style of smoking that was far healthier for a person, or a wag to ease the act of quitting. I couldnt and did not believe it. I considered the money I spent a waste just as the money I spent on the cigalikes 2 years prior was DEFINITELY a huge waste. Cigalikes were not sufficient for my uses, they got me no where. From walking into the store, not even knowing about this store or what it had to offer, I decided to take a chance on it as a bit of a peraonal dare. I attempted to make it 1 day. I quickly noticed that I felt far more satiated by the nicotine provided from the equipment I purchased, than id ever felt after chain smoking 1 after another of the carcinogenic styles all day long. Not only did the healthier verson seem to satiate me longer, It left me feeling as if I had quit. The next mor ing I awoke, and there was no longer that elephant sitting on my chest id become so used to feeling. Since then ive kept with it, its been well over a year. Not 1 time have I had even 1 craving. I dont thknk I look cool, infact, I believe other kids think I look stupid, but im ok with that. Infact, IM PROUD to look stupid. Hopefully I looke even more stupid than the 12 year old me chain smoking tobacco cigarette back to back. Th I s give me my like back. My helth is now an option, not a jail sentance. Im free again. Thank you for allowing this safe form of nicotine enjoyment. If u take this away, or even only offer the cigalike style ones, MARK MY WORDS… You will NO DOUBT be paying for it 10 fold in a matter of aboht 10 y ears as u cover the cost through taxes if need be for myself, and the millions like me who when backto smoking, and died poor and dirty because of Iit. Having 0 dollsrs to chip in on any kedical coverage or care, or even to cover our burials. This is not dramatic. This is the truth. Its up to you now, up to u to see the truth. If u forsce us to choose, and u limit our choices drastically, we really ha e no choice at al, and that choice will intern be- TO KILL OURSELVES SLOWELY. THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN. Please help up to live the quality of life we only just not learnedjust so hhappened to even exist for us. Were here begging hou to let us live!
