I smoked 2.5-3 packs per day for 31 years and was always the guy that said (when told I should quit) I’ll quit when I’m dead! I tried a disposable e-cigarette from the smoke shop when I was buying 7 cartons of cigarettes for the month on Feb. 3rd 2012. I used it the next day for approx. 7 hours and then it went dead, other than being disappointed because it wasn’t equal to 2 packs of cigs, and hating the way too minty instead of menthol flavor, I didn’t feel like I needed a cigarette. I went online to find a re-chargeable system. My e-cigs arrived on March 12, 2012 at 11:35am. Other than trying to light a cigarette about 2 weeks later and getting very nauseous, I haven’t had, or wanted a cigarette since. On April 15th 2013 I dropped my nicotine from 24mg to 18mg, and now I’m down to 15mg. I much prefer this to smoking, I feel better, I don’t get sick anymore, no coughing in the morning, my clothes, car, and house don’t stink anymore. My friends and family are both; very proud of, and happy for, me. Thank you for the opportunity to share my story, I hope it helps many others to quit smoking.
