Hello everyone. My name is Pete. I'm 31 years old, from Chicago. I have been vaping, and tobacco free, since January 2012. I've been a member on here for a while, but am just now starting to post. I'm really thankful for E-Cigs. I would have never quit smoking without them. I was a heavy smoker (a pack a day). My family is happy too. Cigarettes STINK! I honestly never realized how bad they stink until I quit. I can smell someone smoking from a block away now. My clothes, house and car finally smell fresh. No more yellow tinge on my walls, furniture and electronics. It really is amazing what a difference E-Cigs have made in my life. I feel much healthier as well. I don't cough up a lung every morning like I used to, and I don't get sick (bronchitis) any more. I used to get bronchitis twice a year. I have not had it once since I quit (knock on wood). The only downside to vaping, is the funny looks I get when using my ProVari in public. Hopefully that will change as more people become aware. I do my best to promote E-Cigs when people ask me about it. This is a huge forum with lots of good info. I'm glad you all are here.
