I smoked my first cigarette at age 10 and became very ill. This negative experience did not stop me from taking up cigarettes a few years later. I’ve smoked off and on my entire life and even at age 19, I managed to quit for 8 years. Still, at 27, I resumed my habit. I even tried smoking a pipe, thinking it would be less harmful, but who was I kidding? I started inhaling pipe tobacco! All in all, counting the years I managed to quit, I probably smoked a total of 30+ yrs. I tried acupuncture, cold turkey methods and patches. Nothing helped me stay smoke-free for more than a year. I started using disposable e-cigs three years ago while I was still smoking. It wasn’t until I learned about Advanced Personal Vaporizers that I was able to quit for good. I have no intention of smoking combustible cigarettes again and the nicotine content I use is next to zero (0.3%). I have been 18 months smoke-free to date and couldn’t be more thrilled!
