HI everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to share my experiences over the last 30 + days.

I'm 37 years old and a smoker since I was 16. I've tried to quit a handful of times but never stayed away from analogs for long. On Sept. 20th I bought a cheap e-health cig. for 10$. I live in eastern Canada and e-cigs are pretty much non-existant here. I personally had only ever laid eyes one 1 (a Blu cig I think it was). Anyhow I get this e-health cig and, without plans on quitting, started using it 100% of the time on that day. Now, I begin to research e-cigs and find ECF. I get a better cig IMO, the VOLT, and get blown away by it. Since then I have not had 1 single analog. So, pretty good story right? Yeah I think it's awesome but here is where it gets better.

I show my younger brother (who has always smoked more than I did and I think he started smoking at the age of 13/14, a pack a day at least). He tries it and likes it. He gets me to order him a kit. He gets it and gives my Grandfather one of his batteries and some cartos. My Grandfather is 75 years old and has smoked for over 50 years. It's been 10 days now since they got their e-cigs and neither have touched an analog!!!! Unbelievable!!! My Grandfather walked to the end of his somewhat long driveway the other day and was shocked that he was not gasping for air, and he wanted to go further!

I have since bought other kits for family members and friends who hopefully use this amazing tool to help them rid their lives of tobacco.

Thats my story folks. Hopefully this inspires at least 1 person who reads it. I glad to be among so many like minded and supportive people.

I liked you story..I have 10 months now..it's great your grandfather and brother and join you..your not only saving your like but your love ones and friends also..Good luck..

ponytail girl - The fact that I helped my Grandfather got off analogs makes me happy beyond words. These things are life savers and should be made available to everyone. Again, I'm in Canada and nobody here knows about e-cigs at all, they haven't been allowed by Health Canada (our version of your FDA) which is completely ridiculous IMO.

Congrats on your 10 mths also!

Congratulations, that is so awesome! I've been analog free for 8 hours and stories like yours give me a glimpse of how happy I know this will make me.

I smoked for over 46 years and did not even plan to quit- just thought I'd try them. I quit analogs immediately and am 7 weeks into this. So many are proud of me but since it's so easy it doesn't seem the praise is valid. LOL Keep vaping and yes, this will make you happy! Congrats on the 8 hours- very soon it will be 80 then 800. You will feel so much better, also.

Great story., congratulations on getting your brother and grandfather off the analogs, that's got to feel good.

I sort of fell like a Jehovah's Witness sometimes when I try and get my smoking friends to try vaping out, but what can you do when you strongly believe in something that you feel will benefit others?

Good luck and keep spreading the good word. :)
