I quit smoking 5 years ago. No one including myself ever thought I would be able to quit. I tried hundreds of times (no exageration!) to quit. I never even made it 24 hours. When I finally quit it was a shock to me and everyone that knew me. I started smoking when I was 5 and quit when I was 34. I was a 1-3 pack a day smoker depending on what I was doing. As a music producer I found myself chain smoking a lot when working on mixes in my studio. I also chain smoked when I was hanging out with friends drinking coffee. If I was going about a normal day it was just a pack or so a day. After about a year I hardly ever missed smoking. Then after about 4 years I started to miss it. I knew friends who were using e cigarettes to quit but they reported that it was like breathing air and the vapor production was barely noticable. After 5 years I started to hear that the technology had drastically improved so I started to do some research and jumped into the mix. I have to say it is so amazing to be able to enjoy the smoking that I missed without the nicotine and the health problems! I can't believe that no one is marketing to ex smokers who miss smoking. Most of them end up just going back to smoking regular cigarettes. I am afraid that I may have done that if it were not for these amazing products. Are there any other ex smokers who joined the ranks of e cigarettes?
