Hi folks! Very glad to have found this forum! My name is Robin and it's nice to meet you!
What brought me here? Well, this past Monday, I had to rush my boyfriend to the ER at 4 in the morning, because he was gasping for air and couldn't breath. We are both smokers. After an hour long breathing treatment, the doctor told him that he wanted to admit him. After a feeble argument from him, I convinced him that if he didn't agree to stay, we'd be repeating that ER visit within the week.
His primary nurse met with us, then told us that she used to be a smoker, but had quit in August thanks to switching to an e-cigarette. I went home that evening, after he had his dinner, and immediately started to Google e-cigarettes. After watching videos and reading testimonials, we decided to try the Safe Cig Micro.
We get our starter kits on Wednesday this coming week. I focused much of my reading this past week on the Safe Cig micro reviews and videos, and reading their blog. I've been very encouraged reading that this really does seem like a lifestyle that we can easily transition to, and finally both be smoke free.
I talked about my research during smoke breaks this weekend (yes, I'm currently still smoking until our e-cigs get here), and one of my co-workers got in on my order and ordered herself a starter kit and I think she's as excited as we are to put down the cigarettes finally.
We've got many other smokers who are anxiously waiting to see what our verdict is before they take that step.
After I was satisfied with the choice we made for our foray into the world of e-cigarettes, or vaping, I started to look for forums that I could join and found this, and now I feel like our Safe Cigs are going to be our "training wheels" so to speak before we launch into some of the other options available to us.
I will admit, I am currently a little overwhelmed (and a little intimidated, if I'm honest) with all the information available. I've been lurking since Friday and reading as much as I can, taking advantage of the stickies throughout the forum, and trying to learn the lingo.
I'm excited about this journey that we're starting on, and I'm so glad that I've found this forum.
You might wonder about my avatar - I breed ball pythons, and that's my logo for my ball python breeding business. It's a hobby business, I work as a buyer for a large technology company. We were recently acquired, and learned that if you use tobacco products, you have to pay an additional $75 a month for your health insurance. I verified that e-cigarettes do not fall under that clause, so that's another reason a lot of co-workers are interested in how this works out for us.
Karl is out of the hospital and admitted to me that he really thought he was going to die on our way to the ER on Monday. He's also very excited to start vaping.
Thank you for taking time to read this!
