I vape because I was a PAD smoker for 10 years. I vape because I enjoyed smoking and didn't want to give up my nicotine. I vape because I got tired of being the 28 year old mom who should be able to get out and play tag with her 2 year old daughter but can't because she can't breathe after running 15 feet. I vape because my mother was a PAD smoker for 30 years before lung cancer killed her. I vape because I want better for myself and my kids. I vape because I'm ashamed that my 2 year old knows the word "cigarette." And I vape because nothing else has helped me kick the cigs until now. I've been cigarette free for 22 days. I've never gone more than a few days at a time until now. And now when I take my kids outside, I can breathe better, run and play more, and my daughter no longer asks me "Mommy need outside? Need cigarette?" It's a pretty awesome feeling.

If you notice, There's already a thread out there with the same topic.

If you'll notice, there are at least 100 threads out there with just about every possible topic. ;) :laugh:

I started vaping because both of my grandmothers passed away from lung cancer and my father from prostate cancer. Figured I was a ticking time bomb.

I have been smoking for 37 years and my lungs are really starting to feel it.
I have looked at the E Cig but only on line at American sites,then I came accross a set up in a mall where they allowed you to try them.
I purchased the ego c and have only smoked 3 packs of real cigarettes in the last 2 weeks down from 10 packs a week.
My lungs are liking this.

#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!!

Also, I love the act of smoking! I mean I REALLY enjoy it. The only time I quit was for a few months when I had punctured lungs from a moto x accident in 2004. I never once in my 25 years of smoking even considered using gum, patch, etc..... Vaping was exactly what I was waiting for I guess. So glad my brother-in-law turned me on to it.
