My name is William. I will be 47 years old in January 2015. I smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day for 20+ years. I tried to quit 3 times using the patch. It never lasted more than 6 weeks. I would start getting stressed and soon had a smoke in my hand again. The last time it happened my wife suggested I give the e-cigs a try. That did the trick. As of 2014 I am almost 3 years without tobacco. And over the last 6 months I advanced to what we call Vaping. Now I am able to dilute the Vape juice and lower my nicotine intake. On e-cigs (refilling my cartridges instead of buying new ones) I was only able to get down to 6mg of nicotine. But now that I mix my own I am down to 3mg and will soon be halving that again to 1 ½ mg. Over this last 30 plus months my health has improved, my lung capacity has increased, I feel better and have more energy, I don’t smell like an ashtray, and I no longer have reoccurring battles with Bronchitis. And I still have a SAFE outlet for stress. I recommend Vaping or e-cigs to anyone who is serious about kicking the smoking habit and to younger folks goofy enough to consider starting cigarettes. This has added years to my life, made my wife happy, and it is my right. E-cigs and vaping are far safer than smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or having unprotected sex. All of which I have done in years past and do not advocate. Just let me keep my vapes. And a note for those who think they have all the sides figured out, I am an Evangelist/Missionary and see nothing wrong with e-cigs or vaping. Thank you and God bless. Rev. W S C
