Hello all.
Just wanted to introduce myself. I only smoked cigarettes for about 3 years, but smoked fairly heavily for that time. I quit cold turkey a few years back and really miss it...not for the nicotine, but just because I enjoy the act of smoking. I had to quit for medical reasons (my body doesn't react well to nicotine, apparently)...I ended up with a blood clot in my lung. Needless to say, that was enough to get me to quit the habit.
Recently my father (who has been smoking since his early teens) was diagnosed with the very early stages of emphysema. He's finally taking the advice that doctors (and my mom) have been giving him for years and he's quitting smoking. I talked to him a little about e-cigarettes, but he's been smoking a pipe for the past 10-15 years, and really likes it. Luckily I found ePipemods, and have ordered one as a gift, to try to help him quit before his health gets any worse.
In doing all the research for my dad, I think I've found the perfect solution to my needs as well! With e-cigarettes (and e-pipes) I can get my favorite part of smoking without the harmful nicotine (or any of the other chemicals I was inhaling while smoking). MistBusterMatt pointed me to these forums, and I'm glad he did. I can't wait to start sifting through all this information and get started vaping. So many wonderful mods and flavors to learn about and try. I can't decide where to start 1st.
Anyway...I look forward to being a member of this great community.
