I have not had a cigarette since 12rh Feb 2017 – 9 days after first starting vaping. I’d been smoking for 40 years and had given up hope of stopping. My family doctor and a number of consultants have said I now have the heart and lungs of a never-smoker, according to x-rays and blood tests, and was able to cycle 100miles (160km) in a day most weekends until an injury forced me to stop.
