I started smoking while in high school, as many boys of my generation did since it was the "cool" thing to do. I was in std. 7 (grade 9) at the time. The first time when I tried to quit smoking, I was in matric (grade 12). The first attempt failed, as did every other attempt after that for many years, and every time after a failed attempt, the number of cigarettes that I smoked per day increased until I was smoking 3 packs (60 cigarettes) per day in the end. I tried going cold turkey, cutting down on the number of cigarettes per day, nic gum, nic patches, acupuncture, hypnosis, changing to lower nicotine cigarettes, and reading and applying the techniques from Allen Carr's book (Stop Smoking). The longest that any method lasted to keep me from smoking was about a week, and as I mentioned earlier, every time when I failed and started smoking again, I ended up smoking more cigarettes per day. The smoking habit obviously affected my health. I had frequent headaches, shortness of breath, and chest pains and eventually a mild cardiac episode. Then I discovered vaping through a friend on Facebook (forever grateful Rob). Initially I both smoked cigarettes and vaped, but I started cutting down on the number of cigarettes that I smoked per day. The last time that I smoked, I had one cigarette in the morning and one in the evening. Today I hardly ever get headaches; I don't ever get chest pains anymore; and I don't suffer from shortness of breath. Vaping literally saved my life.

Quit smoking years back when offered vape by my brother who made the switch at the time and liked the flavors mostly which got me off the cigarettes instantly. Never smoked since

Started smoking when I was in primary school. Tried to quit a couple of times but only lasted one or two days. Took me 2 weeks smoking and vaping to put the cigarettes down and never touched it again

I'm still not completely off of smoking cigarettes it's a hit and miss at times . My health has improved the more I vape the more the better I feel not because of anything other than how I feel when I do light a cigarette. So hopefully I will completely quit cigarettes soon by vaping.

I used to smoke and it started affecting my smell and taste. The smoke pulled into my clothes and into my apartment. Everything is a disgusting when smoking. I will not advise anyone to smoke any cigarettes what so ever and rather switch over to vaping. I enjoy vaping to the fullest.

Started having a morning cough. A friend introduced me to vaping and I loved the flavor. Took me exactly 10 days to quit smoking all together, with the help from a vape shop.
