Once a heavy smoker, never knew quitting is this joyful

[Omaraziz9298]

Hi fellow vapers, my name is omar i'm 18 years old. I start smoking when im 16 and been a heavy smoker since.
First time i tried ecig, i was a complete failure. Why? Because here in Indonesia there's this huge black campaign about ecig. And about a year ago after doing some research about ecig and decided to give it a shot.
Well, it's never been better. I can breath normaly again, workout longer, no more bad odors again, and the best thing is i can save A LOT from quitting.
And the thing that make me proud as a vaper is i successfully bring half a dozen of my friends to quit smoking by vapin

Well, i thinks that all what i should say by now. Thank you fellow vapers!

That's awesome, Omar! It doesn't matter how many attempts it takes, what's important is that you made it! Welcome to ecf

Welcome to the ECF forums my friend and congratulations on not smoking anymore. ..

It's wonderful that you were able to quit after only smoking for a couple of years. You've saved your body many years of damage. I was an extremely heavy smoker (3-4 packs a day at the end) for 42 years and even I feel better. Congrats!

When you see vapers, if they look smug, it's because they are.

It would be very interesting to hear about the black campaign. May be we'll learn some things that help in the US or Europe.

Well done! And keep converting smokers. Welcome to ECF, and keep up the good work!

Omar consider yourself lucky to have only smoked for a couple of years as many X-Smokers did it for decades like myself. I still continued to smoke after visiting hospitals and attending funerals for people who suffered from smoking related illnesses. I look back now after successfully staying an X-Smoker and say to myself what was I really thinking? Continue to keep up the good work and tune out the people who knock vaping due to misinformation because it is hard to enlighten them with the truth. Or go for it and educate the masses.

Welcome to ECF! It doesn't matter if you smoked 2 years or 20, when you are a heavy smoker, it's hard to quit. Congrats!

 

[Heybilox]

Yes vaping is a cool gig; enjoy!!!

 

[SteveS45]

For the OP: What do you consider being a heavy smoker? Just curious and I apologize in advance if I am being to forward!

Welcome to the forum. There's a huge 'black' campaign against Vaping here in the USA as well Omar...they want their lost taxes back. Congratulations on quitting cigarettes...well done young man!

Congratulations Omar and welcome to ECF!

Well done, young man! Your body and your wallet will thank you for years and years to come. Wish I'd quit at your young age, but I just kept smoking for 42 years. It's been 2 years + 2 months smoke-free for me now.

Way to go, too, on helping your friends learn about vaping to quit smoking as well. You should feel proud of that, too.

 

[K_Tech]

That's great to hear, Omar, and welcome! I wish that vaping had been available when I was your age, you're fortunate in that you're quitting the cigarettes at such a young age, your body will thank you in a few decades!

 

[jujubeans]

welcome!
I am also really heavy on smoking but, i think vaping has really took the habit off me.

Vaping should be widely recognised as a method to avoid cold turkey..

Enjoy your stay here!

Welcome, and congrats on getting over the FUD of vaping! +1 on curiosity of how they're smearing it over there. Extra kudos for convincing your friends to switch! I've tried myself and never had much success in getting others to switch...
