One year ago, today, I smoked my last cigarette.
No, I haven't kicked the nicotine habit (yet), but for 365 days, I have not inhaled the other 4,000-7,000 chemicals (depending on which source you look at) that are in a burning cigarette. (
What's in a Cigarette? - American Lung Association)
I feel much better. I can breath. I don't wake up and spend 30 minutes or so coughing. I don't smell of cigarettes.
I have cut my nicotine use from 36mg/ml to 12mg/ml. Hopefully, I will be able to cut that down even more in the future.
I never thought I would quit smoking. I don't think I would have if it weren't for Hayden (my 5 year old grandson). If he hadn't told me he didn't want me to 'turn blue and die' I know I would still be puffing away. Thank you Hayden!
While Hayden was the impetus that got me started (using Blue and then White Cloud), it is the quality gear that I have purchased over the past year that has kept me from going back to cigarettes. That, of course, includes the Paps Xs I have along with the Heron and Spheroid.
So, along with Hayden, I'd like to thank Perseus and the entire GP team for making some of the devices that have helped save my life.
I have met (on line and, in a few cases, in real life) some of the nicest, most compassionate, caring people I've ever known. All of you in this thread, of course, fall into those categories. Thank you all for the knowledge you share.
