Hello, This is my testimonial on electronic cigarettes. I had been a smoker for over 38 years I had gradually worked my way up to pack and a half of full flavor Marlboro over that period I had never really tried to quit until three years ago when I was diagnosed with liver disease when my doctor told me that I would need a new liver part of my transplant requirements would depend on quitting cigarettes at that point I tried to quit using many different methods but to no avail my last effort involved chantex which seemed to help but made me crazy like symptoms of nightmares and personality changes for the worst, then I heard about electronic cigs I started with a off brand from the local gas station and liked how they seemed so real and I started to smoke these and smoked less of the real cigs as I got more interested in electronic cigs I learned of the better selection that were available online of both battery types and flavor , I soon tried various makes and models and soon discovered that I did not like the taste of regular cigs at which point I stopped smoking all together . as time went on I lowered the nicotine content of the flavoring to the point that I no longer have any nicotine in my flavoring I have been free from cigs for over two years now and have no desire to smoke again I am still waiting for a liver but now have one less hurdle to overcome to get my new liver with the side benefit of money saved and feeling much better when I breath and wake up in the morning without that terrible smokers cough my wife also loves that I do not smell of tobacco or subject her to any second hand smoke Please do not jeopardize this wonderful product by passing judgment before you have actually tried it and fully investigate its full potential to alleviate smoking and use as a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes at the least it cannot be as bad as what I was doing before I quit at the most it is a lifesaver for many of us that have tried other means to stop and failed Maury Schindler 1580 creek side rd.
