26 years of heavy smoking to 0 cigarettes in 1 day

I smoked cigarettes for 26 years. Started when I was 15. When I was younger I rolled my own with very strong and dark tobacco.
I started to really feel the effects lately with tight chest, coughing etc. I believe I was getting COPD. So On a Monday after work I smoked my last cigarette and went to a vape shop and got a sub ohm starter kit. Haven’t smoked a cigarette since and I can already feel my lung recovering and feeling better. It’s been 5 weeks now and have no desire to go back.
Started buying the juice online and I now spend cents a week on juice.
I believe vapeing saved my life and a lot of money.
