Knew I had written something a short while ago about my 'vaping history'. Finally found it.
I didn't start smoking until I was 21. I was dating my first wife-to-be and she was a smoker. My whole family were smokers when I was growing up and I had no desire to smoke (tried it a few times). But I told my girlfriend that either she had to quit or I was going to start. Needless to say she didn't and I did. Yeah, I know, I showed her, huh?
I didn't even consider quitting until maybe 5 years ago. Tried the patches - just made me hyper and nauseous, tried the gum - no help at all, Zyban - nada, one of those group hypnosis sessions - zip. Last quit attempt was cold turkey. After two days of that the 2nd wife said to either start smoking again or leave ; I figured I'd start smoking again.
At the beginning of last year I noticed the 21st Century Smoking kits at the store where I bought our cigs. Thought hey check that out! Bought a kit and a carton. Over the following
three or four weeks I cut down from a pack and a half a day to 5 cigs a day. Couldn't get rid of those though. I found ECF and ordered a 510 kit and some juices. Still smoked some cigs for a week or so. Then just decided to take the plunge. I had a bit of trouble the second day without cigs; but since then, no problems at all. The wife is still smoking, although she has tried the 510 a couple of times over the past year. Before finding ecigs, if I went more than 2 or 3 hours without a smoke, I'd be climbing the walls.
