#1 because as a 35 year smoker I am probably on borrowed time as it is. #2 I am the WORST smoker EVER... can't stand it in my face, can't stand to smell it but I've tried everything to quit and I have ZERO willpower. Hubs has been bugging me for a while and I've heard of SOOO many people who switched to the E-sig. My goal is to be completely off everything in 6 months time. Realistic? I don't know, but since starting this yesterday I actually for the 1st time feel we have hope to beat this addiction! At the moment I can only take things a day at a time, today I have had 1 cigarette... if I said I had no desire to ever smoke again that would be a complete lie, I feel a tiny bit of a knot in my stomach, I am guessing that is a withdrawl from the toxins but with this e-cig it's manageable. If you would have told me even 2 days ago that I would have a day that I could go for over 12 hours with no cigarettes I would have called BS. I started with the decision I would ween myself off cigs with these only I haven't really needed to. The really cool thing is that I CHOOSE how much I need and get. I am HAPPY we made this choice and we WILL succeed, I BELIEVE that!!
