Hi Everybody, I am new to the forum but have been vaping since December 2009. I was a pack and a half smoker for 29 years. I started when it was 15 thinking it was pretty cool. Toward the end it was not cool at all. I felt like crap, just about coughed up a lung every morning when I woke and was pretty much the scourge of the family being I was the only smoker. My house, car and clothing stunk not to mention all the money that literally went up in smoke. I was surfing the internet one day and stumbled on the electronic cigarette. A WHAT??!! You've got to be kidding me! Of course couriosity got the best of me so I started researching and thought that this could really be a way to get off the cancer stix. I bought a KR808D-1 starter kit for myself for my Birthday in December. I started using it as soon as the batteries were charged. In the first week I went from a pack and a half a day to 3 packs a week. In March of 2010 my workplace announced they were going smoke free (talk about pandemonium!) and were offering a smoking cessation clinic and would reimburse employees up to 200 dollars for cessation products. I went on Chantix for one month backed by my ecig and got off analogs completely. I have been analog free since April 24, 2010. I have no intention of going back. I enjoy vaping much better I have even been through some very stressful events recently and the thought of smoking an analog never crossed my mind. I know for a fact that without my e cig I would be puffing away on regular cigs right now. Ecigs have changed MY life for the better and I endorse them to my friends and co workers every chance I get and I will go to the boxing ring if someone tries to take them away! I truly believe ecigs have saved my life. I knew I was killing myself with every puff but I couldn't stop and I tried. Every year for the Great American Smokeout! I guess the 29th time was the charm!
