I am 26 years old and started smoking when I was in the 6th grade. I smoked all through high school and into the Marine Corps. I tried smoking cecessation once in the Marine Corps and another time through my employer and both times were unsuccessful to keep me from smoking. I tried Chantix at least 3-4 different times over the years and each time would have VERY intense dreams/nightmares and would not do much for my quitting. The patch would work for me ocassionally but only for a short amount of time such as a day or two. So needless to say I’ve tried a lot of things to quit smoking but the only thing that ever worked for me was electronic cigarettes or vaping. I currently have been vaping a little more than 2 years, cigarette free and I feel terrific. I love electronic cigarettes because you know exactly what you’re getting. You have control over what flavors you’d like or the amount of nicotine want. When I started vaping I started using the 35MG of nicotine cartridges and now I have advanced to 18MG liquid. It is easy to ween yourself down in nicotine. I don’t smell like smoke anymore and my girlfriend who is a pulmonary nurse (who was always asking when are you going to quit everytime I’d light up) doesn’t complain about my vaping in the house or car or anywhere anymore. I also noticed since I started vaping instead of smoking my sense of taste and smell has come back to me and I find it MUCH easier to breathe. All in all I think electronic cigarettes could save BILLIONS of lives if we can work together.
