I have been smoking since i was fourteen and i first heard of electronic cigarettes when i was 18 or 19 and passed them off didn’t know what to think of them. I had gotten to the point that i was repulsive because of my smoking not only to others but my family. I wanted to try other things and looked into Snus and other smokeless ways that didn’t work so i decided i would try Electronic cigarettes and i liked them. Made me feel a lot better and i finally kicked cigarettes. I did go back to cigarettes until i took a different approach i started treating the electronic cigarettes as a hobby its fun keeps me away from harmful cigarettes and i can get others away from it as well. Now I’m not saying that it cant be bad smoking them there is stuff you have to follow rules and nicotine isn’t good for you in the first place but it is the main reason i quit. When i did switch completely over i felt so much better i could smell again taste stuff i could talk to others and they didn’t tell me i stink i was engaged in social outings without others moving faster than me or telling me to stay away i could breath better i could be better and my friend who do smoke are getting jealous. All in all electronic cigarettes and every thing to do with them have helped me so much i wont go back to smoking as long as i have them around.
