To whom this may concern, my name is Larry Ricker I am 33 years old and I smoked for 18 years. I have been using electronic cigarettes or what we call advanced personal vaporizer (apv). I am proud to say that I have not smoked a actual tobacco cigarette in three months. And the reason I quit was not just because I got tired of smelling like a ash tray I had a friend that was in the hospital and they told her that if she didn’t quit smoking now she would be dead before the age of 40. And as a result of that I Decided to quit with her to help her out. So I had a full pack of cigarettes and a half pack. I went to a local tobacco store and seen these electronic cigarettes that had e-juice that you had to put in it. I gave it a shot and said the worst thing is that I wouldn’t like it and I would not be able to quit smoking. But to my surprise I enjoyed it and quiet well actually I ended up giving my cigarettes that I had left to a fellow smoker that smoked. I have been smoke free and tobacco free for three months and I haven’t felt better. I have even cut my nicotine level from 18mg down to 3mg even close to 0mg nicotine level. That how much the electronic cigarettes have helped me quit smoking. I love the flavors that I can choose from. That is probably what helped me the most to quitting was being able to vape a flavor that I enjoyed tasting instead of a tobacco flavor. Because if I wanted the tobacco flavor I would have never quit smoking.
