I never started smoking cigarettes untill I was in my early forties. I smoked for over twenty years. I was smoking a pack or a pack and a half a day. I was getting to where it was hard to breath sometime. Especially with any exertion or walking up an incline or stairs. Everynight I would have to use an inhaler in order to breath good when I lay down. I would hear a rattle in my chest. Now I don’t have to use the inhaler and never hear the rattle. My sister had been using the e-cigs for over a year and kept trying to get me to try them because she wanted me to be healthier. I kept thinking I could not afford them. Little did I know it would be cheaper than the cigarettes I was hooked on. She found a way to send me my first e-cig kit. The day it came I tried it. That was the 4th of february 2013. Once I tried it I never put another cigarette in my mouth. Thank the lord and whoever came up with the idea. That has been four months. I was using a nicotine strength of 14. I now hardly ever even use the e-cig. Never crave cigarettes. I personally think anyone who is having a hard time quitting cigarettes should give them a try. The thing about them is they have no nasty smell and no nasty messy ashtrays. I feel healthier,breath better, and can spend my money on something better than cigarettes.I have not been paid to say this. I am just a person who is happy to be away from cigarettes and it hold on me. Thanks Pauletta Graham,Ione Oregon
