I started smoking about 35 years ago I quit for nine months cold turkey when I was pregnant with my first son at 23. Started again after his birth and was not able to quit again when pregnant with my second son at age 27. I never again attempted to quit smoking. In Oct. 2013 I tried Mistic ecigs from Walmart and have not smoked since using them. So for five months now no cigarettes. I had no problem switching and the cough I had in the morning when I would get up out of bed completely disappeared as soon as I switched. I was amazed at how easy it was to switch after so many years of smoking. My husband said to me about a month after starting ecigs I don’t know if you notice or not but you don’t cough anymore in the morning or at night in bed. I had noticed but had always thought my light coughing was from sinus drainage at night not smoking because I didn’t cough during the day only at night lying down and in the morning when first waking up. Obviously it was the smoking and not sinus’s. I smell and breath so much better now that I have been using ecigs. It is soooooo wonderful to not smell like smoke to not have to worry about ashes all over my car or the smell in my car let alone burn holes in the carpet and seats. I love that there is no smell or ash or burning to worry about. It is the best thing ever.
