I tried quitting with patches, Wellbutrin, cold turkey, etc., and they didn't work. I enjoyed smoking for 40 years and thought I would never quit. Well, my daughter made a pact with me that she would buy my vaping supplies to give it a try and if it didn't work, it would be all right. I agreed and got my first ego C starter kit 5 1/2 months ago. I continued to smoke cigarettes because I didn't want to go through withdrawals. After a week and a half, I lit up my last cigarette and had to put it out because I couldn't stand the taste. I threw away half a pack of cigarettes in the trash and have been smoke free now for 5 months. If you have children, just treat your vaping supplies the same way you treat your medicines, look at it that way. I know you won't regret your decision to give vaping a try, I haven't. Best of luck to you!
