No more asthma attacks unless i vape anything with VG
No more cig mess or stress.
I am glad that i found a real alternative to smoking because i tried to quit so many times that i almost gave up. This was going to be the last time i tried to quit cigs and thank God it worked

Vaping is a godsend for me. I have not had a stinkie since the day I got my gear and juice, 24 Feb 2011. I no longer hack, run out of breath walking or climbing stairs, I don't stink, my house doesn't stink, my car doesn't stink. My sinuses have finally been defeated and my stomach calmed down a bunch.
The first year and a couple of months I vaped egos only, first the T's then the C's. I saved a ton of money, spent some on a new couch and recliner to get the last bastion of stinkie smell out of the house (nearly impossible to get that smell out of upholstered furniture) spent some for extra storage for my computer and grinned at the bank balance.
Then I came to ECF and the vaping channels on the net. Oh look at that !! What is THAT? Isn't that pretty!! It does what? Variable voltage vaping?? Mod city. Between that and the specter of the FDA I moved totally to removable rechargeable batteries and cartos, tanks and atties. Should always be able to buy those.
Then came DIY. Stocking up on flavoring can be ruinous at first but look how long it lasts and how far it goes and wow I don't have to buy juice anymore and I can have it just like *I* want it !! I have enough flavoring to make a ton of juice but off and on come across something I *need* something else to make. Small price to pay, imho, for what it gives me and that is FREEDOM. I have juice and flavoring for the millenium except to bring in fresh nic when the stuff runs out or gets too old.
Further hedging my FDA bet I'm vaping at 4mg now and could probably do without but I like the other benefits of a little nicotine in my system like being better able to focus, memory retention and the other things they are finding now that they have a measurable dispensation system for research into it's properties as relates to the human body.
Now that the major spending spree is over with I am back to saving tons of money compared to what I spent on stinkies a week. And I spent that money for 55 years to crap up my lungs and shorten my life. I am now 72, feel like maybe 35 in my head, and 55 in my joints some days, figure I've got a long road still ahead of me and I'm loving it
I'm a happy person with my new hobby, a healthy person and a looking to the future person. And it all started with one little step. So painless that little step was and how life changing.

Been smoke free since 9/2/2011.....Never felt better!! I smoked for 25 years and e-cigs have saved my life!! I am slowly trying to wean myself off of nic, slow process...but I am getting there. BUT...to all who are trying to quit analogs....you have to WANT to quit. Good luck to all!
Have smoked analogs for almost 28 years. Was turned on vaping by my sister, and have been enjoying not smoking (otherwise known as stinking like i live in a bar). Food taste sooo much better, and able to breathe is great.. The vaping community is great, and seeing all the new products is like Christmas year round!! 
Quitting these cancer sticks was one of the best decisions in my life.
Vaping opens a whole new world. Endless tastes-eliquids and a nice hobby that takes away every day stress..

bunch of acne for the 1st couple months....but the good definitely outweighs the bad....sorry for short reply trying to get my 5 newbie posts in....also have a 14 mnth old beautiful baby and I want to live to see him grow up...
My quality of life in general has been greatly improved. Obviously there are all the health benefits such as better breathing, teeth and senses. These were awesome and welcome obviously, but i wasnt smoking that long or that much. Maybe 8 cigs a day for 3 or four years. I still feel and appreciate the effects of quiting but probably not as much as some of the others here who did it more or longer.
The best benifits for me were the unexpected ones. I met an awesome girl who admits that smoking is usually a deal breaker for her. We are living together now and very happy. Vaping is a passion my two brothers and i share and its something we bond over. I dont have to hide my smokiing from my dad anymore and tension has eased there
Its also a hobby that keeps me entertained and preoccupied and i meet some interesting, curious folks now and then when they ask about my pv. Canadians are friendly and open minded people, generally they dont mock me for my choice and a few even get interested in getting a pv themselves.
Making the switch has drastically changed my life and definitely for the better!

I'm a keen cyclist and since starting vaping my times have come down, I can climb hills better and feel a lot more lively on my bikes.
The other good thing is the lack of smell and ash from cigarettes.
The only downside is the urge to buy more vaping stuff!!

You are both wrong.

Pancreatic cancer was cherry picked from one badly done study and has not shown up in other studies.
I would really like to see your source screwbag for your statement that pancreatic cancer is linked to the digestion of tobacco. That is really off the wall considering the large amount of information we have on snus. I have never heard that one and I have read nearly even study out there. I'm guessing you made that one up and it has never shown up in the literature.
As Brad Rodu has said, this is no connection to pancreatic cancer and the use of smokeless tobacco or nicotine, though there is a clear connection to pancreatic cancer and smoking.
You are parroting the propaganda of the ANTZ.
I will agree with you. It's the very reason that the 2 times I did quit cigs I went cold turkey. Both times I was facing major surgery which I knew about in advance, and surgeons did ask me to quit. 3 months w/out cigs. Why? Because even patches and gum will slow healing time, esp. for any kind of skin thing, like plastic surgery (mine wasn't elective LOL, but to correct a medical problem). There are a number of things like small blood vessels and skin cells that do not heal as fast when nicotine is in the system.
I'm sure the anesthesiologist appreciated that I wasn't smoking.....when you've intubated someone it makes a difference, and using gum or patches is okay for that part from what I know, since you're lungs are less congested and you won't be coughing up a lung while intubated..
But for the wound healing part, getting off nicotine is essential.
Since I wanted my surgery sites to heal nicely, and with no complications, I got off the nicotine.
I'm walking up stairs now without feeling like I'm going to suffocate. I can sleep at night without feeling like there's something stuck in my lungs. My clothes don't stink anymore. I'm generally in a better mood. I really love the different flavors. I can vape while working on my computer at home. I can talk to people without worrying if my breath smells like an ashtray. Now my brother and sister don't nag me about quitting smoking anymore, which was annoying me. And the best thing is that I'll probably live longer and I can see the savings in my bank account! 
I'm going through a lot less kleenex. I'm not blowing my nose as much and I use a lot less with Stardusts.
My wife was in the kitchen a couple of weeks ago and I was in the living room. I smelled something cooking and asked her what it was. White rice. She was boiling WHITE RICE!! I would have never smelled boiling white rice from the next room before I quit analogs.
