Dear CASAA, I’m 43 years old. I have been smoking a pack a day since the age of about 15. I never had a smoker’s cough or any other health related issue due to smoking. I did not even plan on stopping smoking analog cigarettes. I tried one of the cartridge type early e-cig devices. I found it tasted and felt better then real cigarettes. I immediatly cut way down on my smoking. That was quite a while ago, about 3 years or so. I now only have a real cigarette in the morning with the coffee. I have found I have more energy and don’t get tenced up like I used to. I do breath better, did not realize how smoking was effecting my breathing. I have graduated to the bigger battery and the fill tank. I go to the Vaper Mate store in Twingsburg Ohio. My girlfriend smoked 2 packs a day and does have the smoker’s cough. She found Vaper Mate e-liquid she likes. She has a pink e-cig battey which is great for her but not for me, I like black!!. Her cough is slowly going away and her Astma is getting better. I’m finding that being around others who smoke, the smell of real cigarettes does not make me want one. I do not want to be the type that judges others who still need to smoke. We all know there are plenty of judges out there, this is my story and thank you for reading it.. Mark Hoenigman Cleveland, Ohio
