I was 20 years old when I started smoking, I was a Marine involved in a very famous combat operation in Vietnam. Everyone smoked there and that's where I started. All during my life after that I smoked cigarettes and then later a pipe. Smoking was a part of me. Then 11 months ago, I purchased some e-cig's and my life has been changed. I can smell things now, I no longer smell of "smoke" and I can vape in most places that I go. I'm a total advocate.
