I started smoking at around 14 years old. Everyone was doing it, and it was cool, so I started also. I have smoked off and on for over 25 years, been great at quitting (usually for 2-6 months at a time) but took a vapor cigarette to finally stop smoking. I hadn’t used nicotine substitutes, I either cut back on cigarettes (which was hard) or I quit cold turkey. Cold turkey was usually easier because it happened after an extended illness and when I got better I had already gone without for so long and just didn’t buy cigarettes, but it didn’t lasted. My husband was still smoking and I couldn’t stay off cigarettes with him still smoking. My husband and I were down to two cigarettes when we entered a vapor store in February 2013, the two cigarettes are still in my car (it’s August now). They are a reminder of where I was. I purchased the basic kit that came with a battery, tank, charger and e-juice and I vape at 12 mg of nicotine. I thought I would eventually go down in nicotine strength, but what ended up happening is I stopped picking up my vaporizer, I just stopped using it. I realized in about June I wasn’t picking it up as often, sometimes for a whole day. But, I do find I want a cigarette when stressed, so I use my Vaporizer at 2-3 pulls and I’m all better. I can breath better. I taste food better. My sense of smell is better and I don’t stink, no more covering up the cigarette smell. I will be opening a shop this year in Oklahoma to help others, this works!!!!
