I am 36 and have smoked for 23 years, so i started way too young, but thats how alot of smokers start, when they are young. I had tried to give up many times, through many ways, and had found it very hard staying of the cigs, giving them up initially wasn’t so bad, staying off them was the harder bit. i had dabbled a bit with e cigs in the past, but hadnt found the right one, and did give up on them at first, but i have tried again, and success i have found a set up that works, and i feel very confident i can stay of the cigs now for good. been smoke free for a month now, now i know that isnt alot, but i have never felt so confident before as i do now that i can trully give up. the news i hear now and then about banning, restricting, and taxing this e cig boom distresses me alot, if they make it too expensive it would actually be cheaper to smoke real cigs, as i smoked roll ups and they are quite cheap, so using e cigs now with the set up i have is even cheaper, but thats not the main reason i gave up cigs, main reason was my health, which i must say has vastly improved even in the last month, my lungs feel so much clearer. and if you ban e cigs, it will just go underground, and again prices will rocket to an attainable level. lets be real here, the only reason governments are clamping down on this now is because they just realized they are loosing money through e cigs, they tax the hell out of cigs, but not e cigs, and they want a piece of the pie, and will probably take a rather big piece of the pie, but if my message helps just a little bit then i hope that will help future smokers get off the cancer sticks, and start vaping 🙂
