I smoked for 21 years. I tried everything from cold turkey, several times, to the patch, which left a welt at application site, as well as nightmares, to wellbutrin which caused a manic psychotic episode. When I first tried a vapor product, I had no desire to quit smoking but immediately cut my cigarette intake in half. After a couple of months, I was down to just the morning cigarette. I went up in nicotine, from 18 mg to 24 mg for just two weeks and found a flavor that went with my coffee. It has been 20 months since I have smoked a combustible cigarette and have no desire to smoke. I am down to 3 mg of nicotine. The head benefits I have noticed include: no more smokers cough and I no longer end up with a lingering cough when I get sick. #vapingsavedmylife
