Two years ago today, my wife Vali and I vaped our first e-cig (SmokeStik) and we've never looked back. We were among those lucky ones who immediately connected with vaping and we've not had even one cigarette since that first vape.
I had smoked for more than 40 years and was at 2-3 packs a day. We had tried the patch and it/we had failed. We used Chantix in 2008 and again in early 2009. It worked until we stopped taking the pills and completed the program. Many very weird Chantix dreams later we began smoking again.
Vali saw an ad in Parade magazine where Leonardo DiCaprio was using a SmokeStik. Why not? We decided to give it a try. It worked!
For the next six months we went through a few different styles of e-cigs until we hit the eGo. That was in very early 2010 and that's what we've been with since.
I'm just saying that if you're new to vaping, welcome, good luck and stay with it. To my fellow veteran vapers, we are so glad to be among you. I'm 61, push mow my yard now (sold my riding mower after 30 days vaping), breath so much better, and play my drums with more energy than I have in years. I stopped having afternoon smokers' headaches a week after I began vaping and Vali lost her morning smokers' cough within a couple of weeks.
Not sure we would be where we are, or had the success we've had, without the incredible support, education and advice from all you beautifully supportive people on ECF. Thank You all so very, very much!
