I only smoked the f**king cigarettes for 3 years and began when I was 41, but in that 3 years it became a TOTAL addiction and at 44 I saw someone vaping one of the ancient Subox Mini's - I was amazed and had to have one!! Since then never looked back...

After years of smoking and suffering with multiple health issues, doctors warned me to quit smoking if i wanted to see improvements towards my health and the symptoms I was experiencing. After about 16 years I made the decision to quit smoking, and I tried numerous times through different channels such as nicotine patches, gum and other methods to which non worked for me. One day when with friends I got introduced to Vape, I gave it some thought and researched into it and decided to give it a try which I did. After buying my first Vape those years back and after that day I have not touched another cigarette again and could not be any happier about the decision I made. Not only did it help me to quit smoking but after about 2 weeks I started feeling quite an improvement towards my health as well. My allergies have improved, no longer suffer with my sinus half as bad as what I used too, do not find myself running short of breath as badly as what I used to, sense of smell and taste has improved significantly that even my doctor one day told me that he is really impressed with how my health has improved so significantly after a health check. I have never looked back and will never look back again. Vaping has saved my life and better it in such a positive way that I will never touch a cigarette again. I wake up feeling more refreshed and can even run around and play with my kinds without worrying of losing my breath like before. I thank Vaping and the friends who introduced me to it, the ultimate best decision without regrets and now heading towards 10 years smoke free without looking back, not even once! #Vaping SavedMyLife

I stopped smoking in my 30's, started vaping. I have reduced my nicotine intake gradually and am now nicotine free. Vaping helped me quit sigarettes after many attempts. I tried cold turkey, champix tablets, pouches nothing worked.

Smoked 23 years, quit cold-turkey with the aid of vapes. My 4th half marathon is coming up, and I run at least twice a week, 10, maybe 12km each. I am the fittest and healthiest I have been since 15 years old, turning 50 this year. Smoking does not kill, it does far worse: it robs your quality of life. Yes smokers can live to over 100, we all heard and have seen that. But could they do everything their mates do? Take a long hike, play ball with their grand-kids? Could they live on the 4th floor in an apartment with no lift, see the view? Or did they opt for groundfloor?

Waking up and feeling like I'm coughing up half a lung, accompanied by thick, dark-brown sludge exiting from what was left of my lungs is where I was before I found Nicotine Salts. I had made 8, maybe 8, attempts to quit smoking before then, a sixty-a-day habit at the time, but had never succeeded. Nic salts was a lifeline that enabled me to get rid of the stinkies and begin to heal. I started on 50mg nicotine in a Breeze 2 pod device and I'm now on 25mg in an Xros Pro2. It helps me with my anger issues and PTSD, don't judge me. Within 6-weeks of not smoking I was no longer coughing in the mornings, and within about 10-weeks I no longer had any gross sludge coming up when I did cough. I have gone from not being able to walk 150m without stopping to catch my breath to being able to run a 400m sprint against my kids and ending with a smile and not being completely winded. My heart is calmer, my sense of smell has recovered (although that's sometimes not a great thing with smells being what they are) and I can even blow up multiple balloons without feeling like I'm going to pass out. It feels like my lung capacity has increased and I feel much healthier overall. I highly recommend quitting the stinkies, do what works for you and be healthy. Vaping saved my life, how about you?

After having my first child I needed to be healthy for her. Instead of wanting to quit, I now had to. For the health of the entire family. My previous attempts to quit cigaretted was bitterly hard and unnecessarily emotional. Vaping has made it possible for me to live a healthy life without feeling deprived of what I not only enjoy but need to exlscape daily stressors. I feel healthy and free.

I smoked like a chimney, and could not climb 14 stairs in succession, had to rest half way up. After starting vaping, I function a lot better, at least I can now climb stairs, number doesn't scare me or matter any more, still out of breath, but that's because I am unfit, not because my lungs don't function. I do have lungs that are about 20 years "older" than my age, but with lung function and capacity in the 90% as per tests. My overall health has improved dramatically, vaping saved me from an early grave and suffocating to death.

Started vaping Vuse in an attempt to quit smoking. Got swallowed by the DIY aspect of vaping. I have managed to reduce my smoking habit, but haven't successfully transitioned to vaping only yet.
