PV's are contagious!

I live in a large Senior apartment complex. I've smoked for 52 years and have COPD and still couldn't quit. Started with PV's a month ago: my only hope for this was to be able to cut down a bit. I'm still stunned to find myself on my 29th smoke free day and so is everyone who knows me!

Well, it seems there's quite a few other still-smoking seniors around here in the same boat I was, who can't quit, even in the face of obvious lung damage. I just ordered an ego kit for a another one of them, a gal I'll call Joan. She has COPD too, and is under much pressure from Doctors and family to stop smoking. She is also losing her eyesight, a horrible loss for an artist and avid reader. The thought of going through the hell of giving up cigarettes too, (like most of us, she'd tried every stop smoking scheme in existence), was almost more than she could bear.

I told her my story, and let her try my ego. Like most of my neighbors, she isn't on computer, and had never heard of PV's. By the end of our conversation, she had tears in her eyes at the mere thought that there could be an answer for at least one of the huge challenges she is facing, and so did I.

I came right home and placed her ego order with my favorite vendor, Cignot, who notified me they shipped it within three hours. Amazing women run that place!

That will make four of us oldies-but-goodies all happily vaping away: time to start our own club! Best of all, though, is an end to the coughing and shortness of breath, and the unrelenting negative judgements and pressure from others to do what we simply could NOT DO: give up nicotine after half a century of addiction.

This forum kept me at vaping through some very frustrating early experiences, so now I get to pass that support on to others who really desperately need this healthier alternative.

See how it spreads?!

i'm so happy to hear about yourself and your friend. i'm a respiratory therapy student and i just started clinical rotations and i see a good deal of COPD patients on my clinic days. it's so sad because alot of these patients still smoke, but i understand how difficult is is to quit even when you're diagnosed with something like COPD because of the addiction to nicotine. i'm so happy you two have switched to e-cigs because it will definitely help alleviate the pulmonary issues that smoking causes. congratulations again!

! So many of us had given up hope on ever being free from smoking but can now say, "I don't smoke."

Last night I delivered my friends new eGo and spent some time helping her understand how it all works. Not so easy when someone is over 80, and had never even heard of these things before, plus she is nearly blind. Much of it she has to accomplish via touch, not via sight. She was even able to refill a cart simply by counting while squeezing the bottle. Talk about determination!

For awhile, she could not get anything out of her eGo at all. I checked everything, twice. Finally I realized what I forget to tell her was she had to push the button every time she wanted a drag! (She had pushed it once, thinking it was like an "ON" switch you only had to hit once, which is a pretty logical assumption!)

Then... she disappeared in a cloud of vapor! Her first words were "Wow! That tastes GOOD!" She called me this afternoon, just to tell me how much FUN she was having with her eGo.

This makes five of us ol vapers here, so far. What fun!
