I had been smoking for 43 years, a pack a day. Only during my 2 pregnancies did I manage to quit but always starting again. I have always wanted to quit smoking but medication and patches did no good. I purchased a starter kit of ecigs and quit smoking cigarettes the day I started using ecigs. I bought my daughter in law a kit and she no longer smokes either. I cannot say enough about how this have saved me from a habit I hated and could not overcome. Vaping is something I enjoy even without nicotine. I feel ecigs have added years to my life.
