I smoked cigarettes for 2.5 years about a half pack a day. I had tried to quit smoking numerous times at the request of my doctor but I could only go a day before buying more cigarettes. On Feb 24 2014 I tried an e-cigarette and immediately knew I would never smoke a real cigarette ever again. I started at 6mg nicotine, then 3mg, and now after two months I am using 3mg and 0mg depending on my need. I have never even thought of returning to regular cigarettes. Since I replaced smoking with vaping I have felt more energetic, started working out, lost weight, and even started jogging a bit. Mentally I feel great to have that smoking monkey off my back. My doctor is happy and even the clerks at CVS (where I bought my cigarettes) are proud of me. The only negative is the initial cost of a vaporizer, tanks and ejuice. However I will soon break even verses the cost of cigarettes and then I will be saving money. I eventually plan to stop vaping at some point but right now I’m very happy to have a less harmful habit than smoking. I encourage every smoker who’s looking to cut down or quit to try e-cigarettes. They really worked for me.
