I am a former smoker of 20+ years. I started using electronic cigarettes about 1 year ago. My first e-cig was an standard Ego style with clearomizer. My first e-liquid was a tobacco flavor at 24mg of nicotene. I can honestly say that the first day I used an e-cig was the last day I smoked a conventional cigarette. I am now a fulltime vaper and have not missed, desired, or wanted a cigarette since vaping. These products have changed my life. I feel better and have more money than I did as a smoker. I had a pretty bad cough as a smoker that has totally gone away since starting with an e-cig. I am a true believer in the benefits of electronic cigarettes!
