Hi, I'm a new forum member. Thought I'd introduce myself before I try to dive in too deeply into your discussions. First thing I want to confess is that I can't Spell, Type fast and have a few Senior moments (well maybe more than a few). I also must confess that I was a smoker for 42 years (thats only counting the years I was of legal age to smoke) and that I loved it. I did not love the thought and the symptoms that proved it was killing me! I turned 58 this year and while hacking my lungs out over a cup of coffee on my birthday decided to call it quits. I drove to the nearset Drug store and bought an ecig one of the popular brands I had heard advertized on TV. I stuck with it until frustration and cost drove me to the internet for information on vaping. I found just what I was looking for on "You Tube" it changed my world in an hour. I tried finding a Vape shop in my little corner of the world to no avail and in desperation turned to my Computer again. Low and behold I found the vaping grand prize on ebay. I ordered my first ego battery in a kit and have never looked back! I found e liquid at a local Gas Station and bought my first flavor (Menthol Tobbaco) before I even had the kit in hand. Bless the clerk at the station for letting me sample the flavors on a ego battery she had just for that purpose. I am now a VAPOR and an ex smoker. I am by profession a nurse for over 16 years,(Late Bloomer) and stay stressed out alot on the job so I love love, love my ability to Vape to relax. There's alot more to my story but will save that for some other time. So from me (Nana Gail) to all you lucky Vapers out there. Keep on vaping ON :)

Welcome and GRATS!
I'm in Florida too, and I'm 63. Quit six months ago and I couldn't be happier. Vaping seems to cover any and every issue related to quitting smoking, and I am so grateful that a nice neighbor helped me get started. My husband, two daughters, and my mom (emphysema from guess what) are very happy for me too.

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you took the initiative to find something that got you off the cigarettes. :). I was a 40 year smoker, too. Egos got me off of them and I've been smoke free for a little over six months. I've since upgraded when I found what I believe will keep me off smokes forever! I, too, am a senior compared to a lot on here...I'll be 58 in a few months. So glad your vaping is rubbing off on the others in your family!
