For many years I've taken the self-blood pressure tests that you find at the pharmacies, and even at Wal Mart. You sit down and it takes your blood pressure for you, free.

Well, today, I am about 6 weeks into having had my last cigarette (after 28 years, almost Pack a Day smoking) and replacing it with vaping. There was nothing I, nor anyone, could do to separate me from my cigarettes! But that changed six weeks ago, when I saw that eCigarettes could produce this enourmous cloud of smoke/vapor that definitely got my attention. I soon tried an RY4 flavor that tasted much like the Marlboro lights I thought were my best friend... I purchased the vape equipment and liquids.

I'm really enjoying vaping, the gadgets, new flavors, but most definitely the feeling of knowing I am living my life without cigarettes... my cough has disappeared, and my lungs feel much stronger even if it's only been 6 weeks. My gums are pink again!!

But most of all today for the first time since quitting cigarettes, I was with my teenage kids at Wal Mart and we all sat down to take the free blood pressure test.

... And look at my results!!!

To my astonishment, my blood pressure has returned to the very same levels my teenage kids are at, and they are varsity athletes. If you take a look at the chart, the BROWN X's are where I always was in so many prior tests as a smoker, but now I am in the green! In the green!!!! I am just so happy, it is a great day!! Perhaps its true, maybe Vaping is saving my life and lives of other people, and free them from the harm of cigarettes.

That's great news :D
Think I'll have to check my BP. My story is pretty similar 30 years as a smoker, BP has always been slightly high. I was a bit worried cos I'm due a medical this year - I have to have 5 yearly medicals being a bus driver. My last medical, I was told I was just on the cusp of being over the BP limit. So your story is really encouraging. I know I can do alot more exercise now, after vaping 3 months, then I ever could before. So hopefully this will show in my BP.

Wow! That really is amazing to hear. It is very encouraging as well.

I have been smoking 20 cigarettes a day for the last 26 years. I ordered an eGo K starter kit last week after reading many encouraging stories like yours. I had really hoped that my eGo cig would arrive in the post today, but no sign of it yet. Hopfully it will arrive tomorrow. I actually can't wait to give up smoking!!! Vaping seems like an amazing and an enjoyable way to give up smoking cigarettes. It can't believe that I am actually excited about giving up cigarettes, in the past the thought of giving up cigarettes terrified me.

It is great to hear that you nocticed that your gums are more healthy since you swapped smoking for vaping. My gums are in a sorry state :( I would be thrilled if my gums become healthy again!

There seems to be countless positive effects from vaping. I REALLY hope my eGo cig arrives tomorrow. I'm sitting here smoking a cigarettes thinking "YUK!!!" Cigarettes are too expensive, they are destroying my health and they make my house smell horrible. I can't wait to start vaping.


My boyfriend smokes even more cigarettes then me. He says he doesn't want to give up cigarettes, but I have noticed that in the last few days he is getting very curious about electronic cigarettes. He is asking me loads of questions about them & I even saw him watching vaping videos on you tube to-day. So, I'm really hoping that he'll at least try to give up cigarettes.

I'm delighted for you Calivapr123 that you had such a great reading when you checked your blood-pressure. Its encouraging stories like yours that made me buy an electronic cigarette. Fingers & toes crossed that my eGo K kit arrives tomorrow! YAY!!! :)

I feel better when I wake up, dont hack and cough near as much. I also don't stink and my skin no longer feels like I smudged oil all over it and then rubbed dirt on that.

THank you, I hope the same result for you! You can find out relatively quickly by using one of the machines at your local pharmacy, they are everywhere, and takes only a couple of minutes.

Thank you @Ructions... I'm sure it's only a matter of time before your BF jumps on the bandwagon too if he sees those big clouds of Vapor, the key is getting him to taste the right liquid flavor, and from that point, his cigarette days are over... Good luck!!
