I kept promising, year after year, this would be the year I quit. My mother couldnt walk across the room without stopping to catch her breath, and slowly, in a round about way, it killed her. I have tried everything-patches, gum, cassettes with hidden messages, classes- if they made it, I have tried it. No luck, still puffed away, still a pack a day smoker.
I saw something on some news program about an electronic cigarette. So, being the computer nerd I am, started doing research. After 3 weeks of reading about them, I purchased a 510 model and thought I would give it a try...maybe supplement my smoking habit with something cheaper, to stretch my pack of cigs longer to save money (at this point, I had come to the conclusion nothing was gonna help me stop totally)
My last real cig was 3 days after I have received my 510 kit....and I wasnt even trying to quit!! The e-cigs tasted better than the real thing.
That was 3 months ago, and I have never been happier. I dont cough anymore, I can take deep breaths, I have more energy, My health has improved, I can smell things again (although, sometimes this is not a good thing), can taste things again (again, sometimes this isnt a good thing).
I have kinda went overboard on the spending though, trying different ecigs, parts, and juices, trying to find the ones I really like. But I would gladly spend twice what I have, to be able to finally say:
I am an ex-smoker.
