I was a 1 to 2 pack a day smoker up till about a year and a half ago. I began to see more and more negative health effects from my smoking in addition to being an expensive addiction. I made the decision to try e cigarettes and started with a disposable cheap cigarette sized model at first. That was horrible, but it was a start. I then kept trying different options and i am now almost 500 days cigarette free. E cigs have made me realize how much better i feel, look, and smell now. My sense of taste, smell, and stamina have now increased so much that i feel as healthy as i did before i started smoking.
