I was originally a pack a day smoker since I was around 16 years old. I picked up vaping around 8 months ago and I'm happy to say I haven't had a single cig or craved one in 6 months! When I first took my CPAT (Cadet Physical Attribute Test) for my local fire department I failed miserably because I couldn't stop coughing. I failed with a 38%. After being off cigs for this ammount of time I retook it and passed with a 96%! I didn't hack or gag once! I was hired on the spot and am now a fire fighter! I cannot thank you guys and girls who helped me when I had questions enough! I can honestly say that vaping and this Community has helped not only further my career but literally save my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much!
