To Whom it May Concern, I started smoking cigarettes in earnest when I was 15 years old. By age 17 I was smoking at least one pack a day- that is, more than 20 cigarettes per day. When I was 45, four years ago, I started using electronic cigarettes. From day one I did not have to smoke ANYMORE, AT ALL. I had tried in earnest over the years, from about age 30, to stop smoking cigarettes cold turkey – that is, with mere resolve to cease smoking cigarettes; I have also tried substituting cigarettes with nicotine patches, prescription inhalers, nicotine lozenges, nicotine gum. I was never satisfied, and I always returned to cigarettes. I never lasted more than six weeks using any of these other methods. I began using e-cigarettes in April 2010, at age 45. From the first day of using these electronic personal vaping products, I have not had to smoke at all, and have not. Once I started using these personal electronic nicotine delivery devices, it took about two years of my lungs healing for me to be able to take a full, satisfying breath of air deep into my lungs. I remember the first day that that happened, and I was overjoyed, and I told everyone I knew who would listen. They were happy for me as well! Even before this happened however, I was experiencing an energetic quality-of-life I had not known since I was a teenager. My athletic stamina and overall energy has increased steadily over the last four years. As I approach my 50th birthday, I could not be happier that there is such a wide variety of electronic nicotine delivery devices on the market. I only hope those cigarette smokers whose attempts to quit using other methods will discover the freedom from analog cigarette smoking that I have. Moreover, I hope that they we adults will all have access to a wide variety of products as they exist in the marketplace; and that innovations will, as has happened in the time that I have been vaping, continue to improve without unreasonable interventions by oppressive and untenable regulations. I currently use, and have used for three years now, an Ego-style variable voltage battery, with an Evod style nicotine liquid tank, vaping about 2 mL a day of 15 mg nicotine liquid. The coil is set at about 1.8 ohms, and I set the voltage on the battery between 4.0 and 4.3 Volts. In summary, what I want to say is that my life today is about living fully, and not about dying from cigarettes anymore. I cannot give you any better testimony than a life of freedom from cigarette smoking, and a life free to choose which personal vaping device is best to keep me from going back to analog cigarettes. Thank you most sincerely for your kind consideration of this testimony. Best Regards Always, Will Beebe North Chesterfield, Virginia
