I have chronic asthma but could not seem to stay away from smoke products such as cigarettes, cigars, and hookah for about 8 years. My breathing was horrible, my energy was low but the only thing that helped my anxiety of daily life was to smoke. My poison of choice was the hookah tobaccos. I enjoyed the flavors, the clouds, and the relaxing calm of the movement in smoking. This was easier on my lungs than cigarettes and cigars but still posed risks. So, I was hoping that one day there would be a substitute that could compete with the rich flavorful smoke of the hookah. Shortly after that I learned about e-cigs. I saw a kiosk in the mall and stood in awe watching the sales person smoke in the mall!! It didn’t smell and the smoke vanished quickly. I bought a kit and tried it. That lasted about a week. I quickly got frustrated with the shortly timed hits. The vape clouds where nothing like hookah and the flavors tasted like chemicals.I then was angry that I spent a large chunk of cash on such a useless product.So I went back to choking my lungs with the sinful clouds of tobacco. My asthma got a lot worse after a few years. I couldn’t breathe and took my inhaler way more than anyone should. Then out of the blue a vape shop opened up a block away from my home. It was a wonderful place with friendly people and amazing products. I bought a starter kit there after trying the wide variety of tasty flavors, and being pleased with the clouds it produced. I knew this was my respiratory savior. Since I found that little store and realized how amazingly easy it was to live a healthier, active, and cheaper lifestyle I had to share it with everyone I knew. I brought many people in to that place and converted every single one of them. My family, friends, and even elder people who have been smoking for more than 50 years!! I noticed I am now only using my inhaler for seasonal allergies, my energy increased, my sense of smell and taste came flooding back, and people didn’t look at me funny or make comments that I smelled of smoke. It was a miracle.. It’s been two years and after all the people I brought to the store to assist them in living a healthier life, and my constant research on the subject of e-cigs I became a professional vaper. I was asked by the store owner to come work for her. I have been there ever since. I love what I do because I have experienced the miracles of the products I sell, and nothing makes me happier at work than to hear about people who experienced an increase in life quality by quitting smoking and starting vaping.
