I smoked from the time I was about 16 until I was 27, about 40+ cigarettes a day. I began vaping in 2009 and at first I vaped when I could not smoke, and after a few months I stopped smoking completely. I never intended to quit smoking and if it were not for e-cigarettes I never would have. I tried Bupropion, but it had no effect on my smoking. Now that I have quit smoking tobacco I no longer smell of smoke, do not waste hours of time outside smoking, and plan on living past 40. I was a very enthusiastic smoker who never intended to quit the habit. E-cigarettes simply presented a better, more socially acceptable alternative.
