I was a smoker for 14 years starting in high school. I was able to quit for 4 months previously using a prescription pill that affects the nuerotransmitters. I started smoking again when I became stressed from work. Now I have been smoke free for 2 years using electronic cigarettes. I started with a disposable and now I use mods at 18mg. I never smoke now I tried a few times but the taste lingers in my mouthg and the smell lingers on my hands. It feels gross like the first cig I ever had. There was a period of about 6 months that I was smoking and using electronic cigs. It got to the point that I preferred using the ecig. Quality of life has improved with work and dating.
