I started smoking when I was 14. With my 34th birthday coming up, I realized that would mean I had been smoking for 20 years. I had tried to quit cold turkey a few times in the past, but usually within a year I was back to 2 packs a day. My husband I decided it was time for a change. I already knew most of the smoking cessation products were of no use to me. I’m epileptic and the patch and the medication advise against use by people with seizure disorders. So, we needed to try something else. We’re lucky that there are several very helpful vape shops in Akron Ohio. One day we just walked into one and bought cheap e-cigarette starter kits. We started at 24 mgs of nicotine. Today is day 66 since my last cigarette and I can’t imagine going back. I feel so much better, and we’ve already cut down to 12 mgs of nicotine. We’ve since moved past the cheap kits and into more serious battery setups. I love the community we have found ourselves involved in, by accident. I’m glad I no longer wake up with a sore throat. I can smell and taste things I didn’t know I couldn’t before. I no longer feel bad for smelling bad, or having to step outside and away from family events. This has been an amazing game changer.
