Dear reader, I have been a smoker for 23 years. I’ve not been able to stop by using ‘regular’ nicotine products in that time, but have been able to stop by using an electronic cigarette. I started using one (Kanger EVOD BCC) about 3 months ago, and started out with a nicotine level of 18 mg/ml. Right now I’m down to 11 mg/ml, and in the future I want to reduce that further. A week ago I started using a more advanced electronic cigarette, the Innokin SVD. My wife suggested the ecigarette to me. After reading up on it, I decided it was definitely worth trying. I’ve been able to stop smoking instantly, which surprised me very much. This hadn’t happened to me in 23 years!! I have no further counceling whatsoever, and do not smoke regular cigarettes anymore since I picked up my electronic cigarette. Before this I’ve tried to stop cold turkey, used nicotine gum and patches, without success. Each attempt didn’t last longer than a day because of the strong addiction and my weakness of will. It is a miracle to me that I have been able to stop for a few months now. I feel generally better about myself, and healthier since I started. I have somewhat more energy and feel happier because I’ve changed to a much healthier/less damaging alternative. You could say that it changed my life, because I had lost hope in being able to stop or smoke less than I did. It definitely had its impact and brought back some faith and trust towards the future. It is my sincere hope that electronic cigarettes will remain freely available to anyone who wants to try them, be it in Europe, the USA, or any other nation. I believe peoples lives can be saved. And personally, I never want to go back to regular smoking. Blessings from the Netherlands, S. Sanches
