Success Stories

[tomsstories]

hello everyone. I have been fascinated by this electronic cigarette product and really think it has helped so many people.

I am doing a cover story and would like to hear from people that have successfully quit smoking using the electronic cigarette.

These stories would be paid for and of course would be a final approved to be published by the story submitters.

I hope to hear from you guys!

Tom

I have been vaping since the begining of feb. but have only been smoke free for a week and a half now. I still struggle but enjoy the vaping experience. I have found that this forum has been a blessing and an inspiration to me. I have been a smoker for almost 20 years and Im only 33.

Are you writing for a magazine, newspaper? free lance? You'll probably get more responses if you're more clear about your purpose and your audience.

There are tons of success stories here (Welcome!) and many of them are really great Check out the success stories section of the forum, and don't forget to do the background research in the ECF library and at CASAA | The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association

It might also help if you tell us what you consider success... some people wouldn't consider quiting for 2 weeks (like me)long enough to be considered a success so some guidelines for that might help you filter responses.

I can tell you I smoked for over 20 yrs and was up to almost 2 packs a day and quit almost effortlessly... the only time I even thought about cigs was when I saw a lighter (I know kind of weird) and when I got a little dehydrated from not drinking enough and couldn't really taste much.

Mine is in the regular success story forum. Titled Doctors visit regarding COPD. I've been free of cogarettes for 17 months after smoking over 40 years.

The day that I started vaping, I quit analogs completely. I was smoking around 55 cigarettes every day, for about 7 years. Before that, I had smoked for about 20 years, then quit cold turkey on a dare for 17 years, before starting up again out of frustration, as the e-cig wasn't invented yet. The "e-cig" has made it very easy for me to quit cigarettes. I'm not gaining weight this time, (30 lbs first month the first time I quit), my asthma is getting better and I'm no longer hacking up a lung every morning. My sense of taste and smell are returning as well. I'm so happy that somebody invented this nicotine replacement device. It works so much better than patches, gum or those stupid pills, (which I have tried) without the nasty side affects. I don't even want a real cigarette, and I like non tobacco flavors the best.
So, I'd say this has been a success for me.
