I was a long time smoker (14 Years) when my wife got pregnant. At the same time my father was diagnosed with cancer. At this point, I took a closer look at my lifestyle and habits. Smoking was the first thing to go for me. I tried to quit cold turkey but this was a total failure. I also tried the normal avenues like gum, patches and lozenges to no avail. I then tried a prescription pill to help me. This was a short term fix but eventually I went back to smoking. I realized that I would not be able to quit because I was not truly ready. My friend quit smoking using e-cigs and recommended I try them. I started using e-cigs and that day I stopped smoking. It has been eight months to date and I am smoke free. Not only am I smoke free but I am using 0mg nicotine fluid and am close to stopping completely. E-cigs have had a tremendous impact on me and my family
