I started smoking cigarettes regularly when I was 12 years old. I was a 1 1/2 pack a day smoker until the age of 41. The first time I tried an e-cig was the stick type that I bought at a gas station. I didn’t like it much and put it down. After trying a more advance e-cig (with a rechargeable battery and refillable tanks, I was able to totally quit smoking analog cigarettes within a week. I don’t have any cravings for analogs, and I can tell my breathing, smell, taste and energy are already getting better. I can honestly say that without e-cigs, I would still be smoking analogs. I like the nicotine, but not all the harmful chemicals, and cost associated with analogs.
