I started smoking when I was 16. Think about that, I was 16 years of age and still able to get cigarets despite all the regulations in place that were supposed to prevent my acquiring them. I smoked for around 15 years and was more or less happy doing it until I started having an irregular heart beat. I took an educated guess as to what the issue was (smoking) but after many failed occasions of trying to quit nicotine (as I didn’t really want to quit) I decided to try e-cigs as a safer alternative. I haven’t smoked a traditional cigarette in a year. Now not only can i breathe better, I can smell things better, taste better, and best of all no irregular heart beat. I feel Vaping has saved my life.
