I’ve smoked 1 pack a day for over 20 years. Tried numerous times to quit.. Patches did nothing for me.. I still wanted to smoke even if I didn’t need to smoke. Tried a medication with the same result. On a couple occasions I quit cold turkey, but no matter how long I had quit, I still wanted to smoke.. One trigger and moment of weakness and I was right back on them. I had tried the cheap e-cig a couple times in the past, but because of taste, battery life, and not always being able to quickly get cartridges, I didn’t feel it was a reasonable alternative and didn’t really like it. That all changed after speaking to someone vapeing on a provari e-cig. It was beautiful and smelled great. I especially liked that it in no way resembled a cigarette. I ordered one with a starter kit immediately. I received it on May 18, and by the following day I considered myself a non smoker. Even though I still had half a pack of cigarettes, I had no urge to smoke them. Over the next few days I tested myself and would smoke one of them.. I found I that I enjoyed my provari vaporizor tremendously more than a traditional cigarette. I have smoked on occasion, but over the last 1.5 months I have probably smoked what I used to smoke in a day. The best part is, I can smoke if I want to, but I know that will not lead me back to my old habit. The vaporizor completely replaced my habit. I vape the flavors I like, and I’m not too concerned about the nicotine levels. I’ve even spent a few days vapeing flavors that had zero nicotine, because I liked it and didn’t get any signs of nicotine withdrawals. Mostly my nic level is 8mg/ml. I love vapeing in public and want people to ask me about it just so I can tell my story and hopefully encourage others to do it as well. It would be a terrible injustice if government ignorance or big tobacco/ pharmasudical companies to make e-cigarettes less available. Lives will be saved! Starting with mine!
