Hi, I was a fairly heavy smoker for about 40 years. I typically smoked one and a half packs per day unless I went out to party and then the amount increased. I tried to quit many times using various methods–nicotine gum, patches, etc.. No luck. My wife had nagged me incessantly about trying this puffer thing that was like smoking but much safer. I finally gave in and started learning the ropes of vaping. I still smoked cigarettes but less of them. After becoming accustomed to vaping, I found that cigarettes didn’t have quite the hold on me that they once did. I decided to set a date to switch entirely to the e-cigarettes. That date was April 1, 2010. I followed through with it and have not had a cigarette since. The first week was a little sketchy but after that, I have not even craved a cigarette. I ride in a company crewbus with smokers every day and I’m not even tempted. My lungs have cleared up. It’s kind of amusing to me that I can walk into a Walmart or any store and smell a smoker from 20 feet away. Hmmm, never knew I smelled that bad. But I’m going on and on, aren’t I? Anyway, the e-cig has changed my life in a big way. It totally ended smoking in my life. I have no interest in cigarettes and for me–that is amazing. I’ll be 60 next month and I might even have a few more years in me now. Roger
