Hi I am 61 yrs old female. I began smoking when I 13 yrs old. So I have had a long history of smoking..which I no longer do!! I use ecigs & have been smoke free for over 8 months. I have had 3 stents put in my heart & a long history of penumia (in the hospital toooo many times to count) Two yrs ago I was in the hospital & almost died was on a resperater for 8-10 days of a 20 day stay. I really almost died that time..I have COPD & as soon as I felt better I was back smoking 1-4 smokes a day (crazy!!) but I started really feeling rough..So I tried the ecigs again & it has worked!! Went for my checkups with all three of my Drs..Gp, respatory, & heart. And they were so happy I had given up the smokes & told me the ecig was FINE to use. So that is my story now my comment…Have you ever noticed when a theing such as the ecigs catch on & people are using the product how Government wants a piece of you & your Dollars!!! WA state is one of the highest tax states in the Nation & they all want more. Needles to say I live on a fixed income & can NOT afford more taxation. Plus enough is enough!!! Thank You for all your work you are doing to help prevent this.
