I smoked around 40 cigarettes a day for 25 years. I tried to quit more times than I can count, using quit sprays, nicotine gum and a few courses, but nothing worked for me long term. While I was still smoking, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. That was the moment I realised I had to make a serious change for my health. I knew I could not carry on smoking the way I was. That is when I switched to vaping. Ten years later, I have not smoked a cigarette since. My health has improved dramatically. Before switching, I had been hospitalised with double pneumonia and often struggled with chest-related illness. Since moving away from cigarettes, I no longer live with that constant smoker’s cough, my breathing is better, and I have not had the same serious respiratory problems I once had. This is my personal story. Vaping may not be for everyone, but for me it was the alternative that finally helped me quit smoking after 25 years.

I used to Smoke Marlboro Red Beyond and I started working at a Vape Store and started to replace cigarettes with vaping and it’s honestly so much better, I spend alot less money it tastes better, it smells better and most importantly i feel really good in the mornings no longer congested and phlegmy.

I enjoyed cigarettes because of the dopamine hit and nicotine hit , I didn't understand how all those chemicals effected me until I started getting involved with people that picked up vaping , I tried it a couple of time then I eventually found myself craving cigarettes less and less and started to enjoy vaping so much more , my chest cleared up in matter of days my congested nose my taste came back my sense of smell returned and I can advocate for vaping as a less harmful alternative its so much more cleaner so much more enjoyable its no longer a hobby the market has evolved so much its a lifestyle I advocate for and try and educate people on the subject because vaping is 3 components not a 1000 chemicals including tar like cigarettes have and that effects your lungs immensely, to conclude my feedback, stop cigarettes and go for a less harmful alternative

Started smoking cigarillos at age 17, with an occasional cigarette as well. Smoked hubbly since age 14 at social settings. Started vaping at age 19 and managed to drop the cigarillos, cigarettes and hubbly immediately. Been vaping ever since for the last 11 years and feel great. I have taken my nicotine intake from 3.5% down to 0.5% in the last year and will keep dropping and quit vaping entirely soon.
