Why I quit my 40 year, pack a day habit? I watched my sister die of lung cancer ay 39 years old AND 6 years later my sweet mother suffered a long slow death with lung cancer at 71. You would think that would have been enough! But sadly, I continued to smoke cigarettes for 10 more years :mad:. Nothing helped me quit this addiction, patches, gum etc. until another sister who also smoked, had a portion of her lung removed! Seriously??? Yes, my addiction had an unreal hold on me. When her surgeon told her he didn't care if she used e-cigs just don't ever smoke again I decided to give it a try. Within 2 weeks I was totally cig free! I just passed the 4 month mark without cigarettes and I have reduced my nicotine level from 21, to 18 and now to 12mg. :)My plan is to work my way down to 0mg. I LOVE LOVE vaping!!


Having said all the obvious reasons, I love being a non-smoker because: no more smell, no bad breath, saving $$, breathing easier, my hubby says I no longer snore :?:.

That's my story in a nut shell! Thanks for this forum, lots of great information.

to ecf cd94586. So glad you are here and thank you for sharing your story. I also know what it is like to lose someone I love and promised my mother that I would quit. Vaping is the only thing that has ever worked. Be proud of yourself. Continued success to you and happy vaping. Look forward to reading more about you. Have fun.

Hello, cd94586, and big congratulations on your quit!!! Your story is not so unlike mine with numerous family members and friends/acquaintances paying major consequences for years of smoking, and me still not quitting!! But finally I found ecigs and that was it, thankfully. I have over a year off cigarettes now. Best of luck and welcome to ECF! It's a great group of people who are very supportive and informative, not to mention very funny at times. :p:laugh:

I too am sorry for your losses.

^^sadly just soft palate intervention is going to stop my snoring too (that's new too.....?yanno..I snore?)*lol* when did that happen?

but Howdy CD Sorry for the loss and your insanity, I had it as well..seeing the negative effects of smoking on my loved ones, and yet continue to smoke to negative effects with me..and I knew better..that's addiction/insanity if I ever heard it.

But 4 and a half months later, loving the vape..
Congratulations on qutting and WELCOME!!
