I was a smoker for 14 years smoking anywhere from one pack to two packs a day. I tried quitting with the help of the patch and while on the patch I continued to smoke eventually giving up on it all together. About a month ago I purchased an ego battery along with a Vi Vi Nova clearomiser and every since I received it in the mail I have not picked up a cigarette. Since I have not had a cigarette I have noticed that there is not as much drainage in my throat and I do not get out of breath as easily as I did when I smoked. I am still using my e-cig and enjoying being smoke free.
