I would to start by saying that I started smoking at a very young age of 11 and smoked for over 50 years. Before I started using ecigs I was smoking up to 2 packs daily. I must state that I attempted to stop smoking over the years even though I enjoyed smoking, I tried the patch, gum, Chantix and nothing helped. My first experience with ecigs occurred about 5 years ago when a tenant in one of our office buildings sold the kits that looked like cigarettes and used cartridges gave me 2 kits which I tried but did not work for me. A few years later my son gave me an ecig starter kit which was a cheap brand and only lasted 2 weeks. I finally purchased a quality starter kit which help me ti start reducing the amount ir cigarettes I was smoking on a daily basis. I started at 30 mg juice and after 3 months y gave up cigarettes all together and I am down to 12 mg. I also recently purchased the Sub OHM kit which are great and would have made the process of getting off cigarettes a lot easier. I never thought that I would be cigarette free but after all those years I finally made it happen. I had to go through a lot of negative feedback from everyone telling me that ecigs where not safe and that I would be better off smoking cigarettes, but I stuck it out and I am cigarette free and hopefully one day free of all nicotine, I’m just taking it slow because the way I see it I had a lot of years smoking and do not expect the end result to happen overnight. I took the time to give my story so that hopefully I can help some one who is looking for a way out of that nasty and deadly habit.
