Have smoked at least a pack a day, and plenty of times 2 or 3 packs,for around 31+ years and have had numerous attempts at quitting, some slightly successful (6 months cold turkey!!), but I was always miserable and well, I guess you could say not a lot of fun to be around. 
I had been wanting to try quitting again but always seemed to put it off, you know, maybe tomorrow or after this carton is gone. I am now 48 years old. I've been thinking time is running out for me to quit, I have to find a way.
When I was 18, my mother passed away at 42 from a heart attack, she smoked her entire life, and appeared to be in good health. At that time I had only been smoking for a couple of years.
About six months ago my brother, who is 4 years older than me, called me and advised that he had a heart attack and was heading into surgery for a quadruple bypass and 2 extra stents. He quit smoking over 5 years ago, cold turkey. Surely, this would make me quit, right? Nope, not even close. I thought about it, but never made a real effort, although I did not smoke for a week a few months after his surgery. My brothers surgery was successful and is nearing a complete recovery.
My wife and I started talking about trying Zonnic, some nic gum we'd seen. Figured I'd give it a shot and we went to a few stores but could not find it. Did a search on the net and found it was sold at a convenience store a few blocks away, so we went. Now was it fate, destiny, or just pure luck? I asked the dude behind the counter if they sold the Zonnic, they did and he grabbed a few packs for me. He asked if I was serious about not smoking and if so, I should try vaping. He explained a bunch of stuff to me, even showed me how to do it. Kinda funny he said he wasn't supposed to do it in the store, but dripped a couple of drops and out came a cloud of vapor!! Handed me a card and off I went with the Zonnic.
At the vape shop I wasn't real impressed, so I left empty handed, well except for my pack of analogs. Later that evening I posted about vaping in a football forum I frequent, and a guy gave me a link to Vista Vapors. I went to the site, took them up on their offer, and a few days later had a bottle of liquid and a little starter. Took a hit and have not even thought of having a cigarette since. I have not had an analog since January 23. My wife, who has really never even tried quitting, has not had an analog since Sunday and is not wanting an analog either. She absolutely loves the Mocha juice.
I don't understand it. I have no craving for an analog. I am happy. I feel free. Finally.
