I am 34 yrs old. I started smoking full time when I was 15. My first attempt at quitting I was 28. I picked up the patch from my local pharmacy. I had troubles with it (itching, falling off) and I gave up on it. Tried the gum next and got burnt out on chewing it. Later I went to my Dr. and he perscribed me Wellbutren. Didnt work at all. Then he perscribed me Chantix. I quickly fell into a deep depression that almost killed me. I thought I would be a slave to this addiction for the rest of my life. Then I was at the mall one day and came across an e-cig kiosk. I picked up a starter kit and it was just ok. The batteries died too soon to be convenient, and it didnt taste very good, but I saw the potential. I did some reserch online and found a good mod with a long battery life and ordered some juices. It took me 2-3 months of ordering diffrent juices to find some I really liked, but when I did, I knew I had beaten cigarette addiction. Eventually I quit vaping as well. Then life happens and an extremely stressful event occurred and there I was craving a cigarette again. Thank god I had my mod and nic juice to fall back on. I still vape today and I feel 1000 times better. Before I started vaping, I couldnt swim half the distance of my pool in one breath. Now I can go back and forth 5 times without coming up. I can excercise much easier and have lost 50 lbs. I have also converted 8 people at work who all have similar stories with NO plans to ever pick up a cigarette again. Im very thankfull there is the option to customize my nic replacement to my tastes, its probably why it works so good for me abd everyone else I know.
