My Name is Mike and I was a smoker for 35 years a friend was using e-cigs and kept bothering me to try them so I did. I am so sorry I didn’t try them sooner I started on an e-cig on Dec. 1 2013 and was very skeptical but after using it for about a week I lit up a cig and to my surprise it just tasted horrible so I put it out and have never tried that again. I tried to quit smoking many times in the past without meds only because the side effects scared me to death. It has been almost 9 months now and I have no intention starting to smoke again and I am very happy with my e-cig Thank you
