I started smoking when I was 13 I am now 47. I have tried the nicotine patch and smoked while wearing it. I tried the gum it just made sores in my mouth and smoked while chewing it. I tried Wellbutrin and it made me an emotional wreck.In January of 2014 I decided to try an electronic cigarette. I chose one with a tank that I could fill with a variety of flavors. I went from 20-30 analog cigarettes a day to 5 or 6 I did this for about a month then I went to 2-3 then 1-2 then one day I smoked my last 2 cigarettes and have not bought anymore since. That has been 3 1/2 weeks now as of May 16th. In just these few months I know longer cough constantly I don’t here rattling and wheezing in my chest any more and i have more energy. Just on a side note I was extremely sick with severe bronchitis right at the beginning of the year and had chest x-rays done I plan on getting another set done as soon as I’m 6 months to being cigarette free and would be more than happy to share those. I have never been able to give up this terrible life threatening habit with any of the approved methods. Thank God I got my electronic cigarette and am on my way to being cigarette free.
