Finally made the switch

[jimson]

But I don't recommend my method...at least not the motivator

I have a drawer full of various e-cigs and could just never make the switch for long and then.........

I had a heart attack.

The Doc told me that I had few other risk factors than smoking at minimum 2 packs a day.

Of course they were offering me nic patches, lozenges etc but after 3 days nicotine free in the hospital I didn't want nicotine in any form so I decided to vape 0 nicotine instead.

It's helped alot. On my second week smoke and nicotine free I think I can stay off analogs and nicotine in all forms now and I imagine I can eventually quit vaping altogether.

Thank god this technology was available, as I have grave doubts that I wouldn't be smoking Marlboros again if it wasn't, that's how addicted I was.

Congratulations on your turn towards better health! I'm certainly sorry to hear that the motivation came from such an awful event, but it was motivation nonetheless.

Good on you!!! (for the quit, that is!) Sorry for what you went through. I've got no doubt that if it weren't for e-cigs, in your shoes I'd have been draggin the IV pole out to the hospital parking lot for a .... - just like I did the last time I was in the hospital.

Very glad you are ok.

I'm sorry to hear about your heart attack! But thank you for sharing your story. I'm 21 years old have been smoking for 6 years and I'm 2 weeks tobacco free. Hearing these kind of personal stories keeps me motivated to not look back

Big congratulations, jimson!!! So sorry you had a heart attack but at least you survived it and now you're smoke free!! That is so great! Sadly, I know too many people who did NOT survive the physical consequences of years of smoking....
