I am a 55 year old male, originally from Chicago IL having move to Los Angeles CA in 1990, I started smoking Camel non filters in 1974 in high school, back then a pack of smokes and a soda cost a buck! How times changed, In 1978 I switched to Camel filters and was a pack and a half a day user, by the time I moved my family to California I was up to 2 packs a day, however justifying that by switching to Camel Lights, during the 80s my wife had quit smoking due to illness, but I kept a going, all the while noticing my lung capacity waning. I had a hard time playing softball and riding bicycles two of my favorite hobbies, by 2012 I was at almost 3 packs a day, my health sucked, stairs were a chore, riding my bike was nearly impossible, my skin color murky, wrinkles and overall poor appearance, looked 20 years older than I am, I tried the patch during a knee replacement, lasted 6 days, in last year I tried the chantix pill, other than a waste of $100.00 plus all I got from that was some bizarre night mares, and almost 30 extra pounds, new year’s day 2014 I decided to quit one way or another. A friend took me to a shop locally that was very informative and helpful, hooked me up with a couple of EGOs and some tanks, let me taste juice to find flavors that would keep me on track, I started at 18 mg nicotine, now almost four months later, I am at 6mg and most juices 0 nicotine. Yes, most times 0 nicotine. And I am starting my new life! I have lost the unwanted weight, I can ride my bike again, I am off the blood pressure meds, and haven’t felt this good in years. The notion that this is more harmful alternative to quitting is ludicrous. Use of PVs and associated juice I feel has added years to my life, which can be better spent with my grandchildren.
