I was a smoker for 36 years. I quit smoking 6 years ago but started smokeless tobacco (dipping) and smoked an occasional cigarette. Over the years I have tried gums, patches and chantix. Nothing I tried helped me rid myself of my addiction to nicotine. Last October I bought my first vaping kit and e-juice. I started at a low nicotine amount of 3mg. I am happy to say I am now vaping e-juice with 0 nicotine. I have finally kicked my dependence on nicotine. I have had no tobacco products since I started vaping. My doctor is happy and I feel much better. There are times I vape often out of the habit of having something in my hand or when having a drink. There are other times I get busy doing things and have long times between vaping sessions. Vaping has worked for me when nothing else helped. It has been a low cost alternative to tobacco as well. While it does cost a little more than dipping, it is significantly cheaper than smoking. I am now considered to be a non-smoker and am very happy to say it. My wife is allergic to cigarette smoke. Vaping does not bother her at all. I can vape in the house and don’t have to worry about harming my wife, son or animals. Our dog would never sit in my lap when I smoked. He now lays in my lap and even if the vapor goes towards him, he never jumps down. There is no reason for the government to treat vaping under the same rules as smoking. I have no problem with overseeing juices to make sure there are no harmful chemicals added. I hope the government will not ruin a positive product that has helped so many of us kick the smoking habit.
