I started smoking daily at the ripe young age of 14. Where I grew up it was common practice for certain stores to sell beer and cigarettes to minors. Of course like all normal high school aged boys we took full advantage of this. Well the story continues as did the cigarette smoking and by the age of 23 I was a two pack a day smoker. I have been in sales all my life and all of my co-workers smoked as well. I tried many times to quit over the years sometimes with gum or the patch, sometimes cold turkey. Nothing worked and my will power was not enough either. I enjoyed smoking, I enjoyed the ritual, the taste, everything. However it was killing me… QUICKLY. It was time for a change and I knew it. Thus I bought my 1st E-cigarette and since that day I have not looked back. 6 months since my last smoke! Electronic cigarettes have saved my life. I no longer wheeze and cough, I can run and play with my two young daughters. They truely have given me my life back and I am eternally grateful for that.
