Smoked due to work stressors, switched to vaping and would never look back
I was on cigarettes for 8byears before making the switch over to Vaping... Since I have made the decision to switch to vaping not only do I feel alot healthier but I do not see myself craving and using the product as much as I smoked cigarettes
Vaping literally saved my life. After smoking up to 60 cigarettes a day I was warned to stop for obvious health reasons. After trying numerous products and even trying to go cold turkey, the only thing that got totally off combustible tobacco was vaping. Since starting to vape my health improved, energy levels increased, tate and smell increased and found it to be an easy transition.
Due to losing my parents to smoking-related illnesses, I decided to quit smoking. Saying that quitting is hard is an understatement. After nearly ten years of numerous failed attempts, I discovered electronic cigarettes, commonly known as vapes. Within three days of starting, I managed to quit completely. Now, more than ten years later, I have stayed smoke-free. I still vape because I believe nicotine offers benefits to my life, but I choose to consume it in a much safer way. I feel much better than I ever did as a smoker, and my family are no longer exposed to the harmful by-products of combustion or the fear that another loved one might fall victim to the deadly effects of tobacco. Vaping not only saved my life but also gave me a new purpose.
