My name is Matt. I was a smoker for 18 years. I started smoking cigarettes when I was 11 years old. Worst decision of my life. I was truly addicted. I tried numerous methods in an attempt to quit this awful habit with no success. I used the patch, gum, chantix, cigalikes, even a state funded quit counseling program with weekly coach calls… Nothing worked. Then I met a friend with an ego-t. This was something new I had never seen before. This actually looked promising. I bought one in January 2012. Best decision I had ever made! At first, I was only able to reduce how much I smoked (from a pack a day to around 3 cigarettes per day). It took three months to completely get off cigarettes, but on April 14th 2012, I smoked my last cigarette. I’ve been smoke free for over two years now and while I still vape, I have discontinued the use of nicotine. I feel so much better since I quit, my blood pressure has dropped, resting heart rate is at a normal level, I’m more active, I don’t smell like an ashtray, and I feel great. I wanted to share this miracle product with others, so I started a business selling wholesale eliquid to brick and mortars across the US. So now not only has vaping benefited my health, it’s also become a career for me. I’m very passionate about what I do for the first time in my life. I honestly feel that this product has far reaching positive consequences for smokers around the world, and for the health of smokers and those that would otherwise be exposed to secondhand smoke if their loved ones were denied this miracle product. The current proposed deeming regulations would end most of these success stories by limiting the flavors available as well as the devices available to deliver nicotine in an effective concentration. I hope those that have the opportunity to read this testimonial realize that the regulations as they are being proposed at this time would severely limit the effectiveness and availability of this product. I thank anyone who has taken the time to read this testimonial, and sincerely hope that it can positively affect you or someone you loves life. Sincerely, Matt Yockey 18yr smoker no more
