I was a 30+ year smoker, with no intentions of quitting until I was holding the hand of my father in the hospital. You see he was dying of lung cancer, and I saw him take his last gasping breath. That was twelve years ago! Since that day I have tried many methods of quitting, including gum, patches, medication, cold turkey and even acupuncture. Not one of those methods worked. For ten years I struggled everyday to convince myself that I could quit. Then nearly two years ago one of my co-workers introduced me to vaping. He actually took me to a shop, and made sure I got a good start up kit, with the right kind of e-liquid. I had my very last cigarette on August 5, 2014 and I haven’t looked back since. I breath better, I don’t have the smokers cough and most of all I feel much better and am healthier. I believe that the vaping industry has changed my life for the better, and only wish it had been around 20 years ago so my father could have enjoyed his golden years too!
