As much as I am happy for you, I have been a pack a day smoker for over four years, and I haven't experienced anywhere near the health problems you described. I am sorry for saying this, it is going to sound negative, but your experience with the DARE program causes me to immediately label you as an easily brainwashed closed off person, and even after that you gave in to pressure to smoke cigarettes. As somebody who smoked (the word i want to use is censored, let's try, not tobacco cigarettes) for many years, and then quit, but still hangs around with people who continue to smoke. I am pressured to smoke multiple times a week, by many different people, but it is not hard to simply say no.

I also find it hard to believe that you ate $100 worth of food in a 3 hour period, which leads me to believe that you have a tendency to exaggerate.

What I really want to convey, aside from a strong recommendation that you look back on your life, and then try to make your own choices. Is that you do not need an e-cigarette. I believe, though no studies have yet proven, that it is a safer alternative to smoking. For me, a pack a day smoker, it is also much cheaper. For you, it is a waste of money, and if anything, will increase your reliance on nicotine, and when your battery dies, or you forget your e-cigarette, you will turn to analogs. Nicotine clears out of the body in 3 days, and when it is gone, so is the physical addiction, the mental addiction is much stronger, but for a smoker as light as yourself, those cravings will be so infrequent, and short, there is no reason to spend money on e-cigarettes, and increase your reliance on nicotine.

I'm sorry for being so rude, but I'm going for a tough love thing here, and I really hope you gained something from reading this.
