Hello everyone!
I smoked for seven years. On Saturday afternoon, nearly four days ago, I smoked my last cigarette. A tiny amount of time compared to most of you, but an amount of time nonetheless.
I was a born smoker. I loved it from the moment I started to the moment I stopped. But as time goes on the cough gets worse, you feel worn down, your teeth yellow, you burn your finger one too many times, you get tired of standing in the cold, you get sick more often than not. This is what pushed me to finally stop.
But I was not optimistic. With an addictive personality and a still-burning love for the effects of nicotine, I didn't know how I would ever do it. I had a vague notion that I would use Ecigs to transition me off, knowing little about them.
So I stumbled into a gas station a bought a Blu Ecig. I smoked that for half a day and bought a Logic Ecig. Slightly more vapor. Looking back I'm surprised that got me through that day.
Then I went to a vaporizer shop, as suggested by a friend. Took a hit from an EVOD at their tasting bar and W-O-W. That vapor hit my throat, filled my lungs, and I thought, "yeah, I can do this". But I was skeptical about this large, comparatively heavy device.
At first I wanted to purchase an Ecig that replicated, as close as possible, the look and feel of a cigarette. I was afraid that if I strayed too far it would leave me missing my old habit. It didn't.
For anyone having trouble switching this was key for me: the quality and amount of vapor you receive is FAR more important than the size or feel of the device. In fact, I've found that it's better to change from certain physical cigarette characteristics to promote the notion that you've found something better than cigarettes. I feel like I've saved my body and upgraded to a cleaner method for nicotine delivery.
Don't call them Ecigs. Call them vaporizers. They are not an alternative, they are a different breed. This switch has been so amazing, so surprising, so easy, that I'm looking over my proverbial shoulder waiting for the catch.
Until then, I will continue to exhale this sweet vanilla menthol from my lungs and feel my health return to me.
