hi my name is ryan cornelius. I started smoking at 16 years of age. i started to not be able to breath in this last year. it just got worse and worse. i had tried to quit smoking and i had no such success. i then went to a doctor as my breathing got worse and found out i had copd. i was very distraught with this news. i tried chantix the patch the gum none of these products helped me quit for good. i heard about the ecig i was skeptical but i have many friends that had success with this. so i finally tried it. i loved that i had a choice in flavors and nicotine strengths. this was a year ago and i am still tobacco free to this day. i feel a million times better i can breathe again my copd is under control. my doctor is a firm believer in e cig and now recomends it to people like me that couldnt quit smoking. this device has saved my life and greatly improved my quality of life. i do not understand why they want to take these devices off the market. cigarette kill people and everyone knows this. i think they need to be taken off the market. e cigs are saving lives and it makes no sense to make these devices so hard for people to get. the government and stated officials need to take a better look at these and test american made liquid and not chinese liquids. o yeah and did i mentioned i cut down on nicotine each time i ordered e liquid and now i am also nicotine free? bet they cant say that with cigarettes and all the chemicals that are in them. and do we even know all the chemicals in cigarettes? but these are ok? get with the program these e cigs are saving lives!!!!!
