Hello. I am Justin Roman, I am 24 years old, and I was a smoker for roughly two years. I decided to kick the habit by using electronic cigarettes when I was 22 due to the cost of cigarettes and due to worry about my health and the health of those around me. The technology I used to quit smoking at first was slightly crude. It was an Innokin MVP and a Protank. It didn’t work all that great, but it was enough to get me off cigarettes. Mind you, these product were still considered crude and plagued with issues that put most people off and were developed after the 2007 grandfather date. The technology before that was much more hastel laden. I currently use a Pioneer4You IPV V3 and a rebuildable dripping atomizer. These vaporizing technologies are much more modern and will no longer be available on the market if this current legislature is passed. I am now no longer smoking and haven’t been a smoker since I picked up this vaporizing technology back in the middle of 2012. I make my own liquid, I know the contents of the liquid, and I am able to modify the nicotine level. This has also allowed my girlfriend to quit cigarettes since I can create flavors she enjoys rather than the artificial tasting tobaccos and menthols. The comparison would be think about eating a chocolate bar and then sucking on a dum-dum chocolate sucker. While, it certainly tastes of chocolate – it still lacks what the chocolate bar possess. This is the true nature of why this works. With patches, you only get the chemical component and no real feedback from the product. With gums, you are given an odd taste from the nicotine and the limited range of flavors. Vaping gives you full customization of your experience from the device to the flavor all the while giving you a healthier alternative to smoking. The simulation of smoking has helped me, my girlfriend, and countless friends get of cigarettes. I have had nothing but life improvements. I used to have slightly elevated blood pressure. Now, my blood pressure is normal. I used to be short winded with little effort, now my lung function is perfectly fine. Please, take your time before acting. The current research shows that vaping is no danger to those using the product and those in the vicinity of the user. There is no other outlet like vaping. It has saved my life, it has saved the lives of those that I hold dear to me. While I am not the story of a 70 year old female that smoked two packs a day and finally found something that worked. I am the story of someone who could have stayed on a very dangerous path. I could have been the one with COPD, emphysema, a variety of health disease, or possible even cancer. Instead, I am here today healthier that I would have been. Thank you for this opportunity to speak, -Justin Roman
