I haven't smoked a cig in a year now. I am 67 years old, and smoked 3 packs a day for over 40 years. I tried to quit many, many times with no success. I did patches, various prescribed meds, acupuncture, hypnosis, and anything else I could find. I quit once for 3 months, gained 25 lbs., and became such a miserable cranky person nobody wanted to be around me. It was killing me, I couldn't breathe or even to take a walk, my nasal passages were a mess, I had trouble sleeping at night, and couldn't smell or taste a thing. I was spending over $300 a month on cigs, which were discounted at a native American casino. I couldn't go anywhere to activities because of the various public smoking bans.

vaping has saved my life in so many ways. I can't completely undue the damage that smoking caused, but my breathing is better( I now walk 2 miles a day), am starting to taste and smell again, and can now socialize in public again. Life is again worth living. The various forces trying to stop, or tax, or regulate vaping know not what they do. For all those hopelessly addicted to cigarettes there is now an alternative that is healthier and actually works, and the anti-vaping forces may be killing those folks. Thanks to everyone on this forum that helped guide me to a healthier and happier life.--Hawk-- :rickroll:

Hawk that is AMAZING! Good for you =)

It makes me just shake my head when I see the "not proven to assist in smoking cessation" when I see soooo many people who have quit by vaping.

I don't think a single person has EVER slapped on a patch or popped a piece of him in their mouth and been able to say "I'm done with smoking".

Anyway again good for you =)))

Grats!! :toast:

This month marks my TWO YEAR anniversary. I was a 1 ppd heavy inhaler for 35 years. Never thought that I could quit after multiple failures with nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, hypnosis (twice), and Wellbutrin. After starting using e-cigs, I made the transformation to be cigarette-free in a weeks time. I haven't had nor wanted a cigarette since.
