Testimonials
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?
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.
I've tried every technique to stop smoking, vaping is all that worked successfully. I'm 9 years smoke free
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
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 couldn't open my eyes if I didnt have a cigarette in my mouth and lit. and because I was still sleeping someone else had to put the cigarette in my mouth and light it. sometimes one wasnt enough and I had to smoke two cigarettes before I could actually open my eyes in the morning. now im in excellent health and better than people half my age. I am active and don't shy away from activities anymore
