Smoked a pack and a half a day for 38 years till 6/13 when I was hospitalized with a near fatal blood clot. As a former RN I knew that smoking increased my risk of another clot so I HAD to quit! I loved smoking and was scared to death because I had tried everything without success. I couldn’t imagine life without my smokes. I couldn’t even envision myself as a nonsmoker. I had seen the e cigs that looked like a tobacco cog so I tried those…they did not work. I decided to go to a local vape shop and see what else was available. I bought a vaper with a tank. It came in a kit with 2 so I gave one to my husband who was also a long term smoker. He wasn’t even TRYING and he quit too! We now have wide variety of styles including ego T styles, mechanical and variable voltage mods. We are making our own ejuices too. We save money, feel better and my health is greatly improved. I have lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol and even lost 23% of my body weight! These things have surely saved my life!
