I smoked for 35 years and tried virtually EVERYTHING to quit.......Patches, pills, gum, you name it and I was not successful.
A friend of mine suggested vaping as an alternative and voila, in 6 weeks I had quit completely and have been off tobacco for 7 years.
If I hadn’t quit when I did I would at the very least be on oxygen now, more likely dead.
For me it was truly a life saver and I doubt my scenario is isolated.
I don't smoke, never have. I don't know many people who smoke, the ones that do and have switched to vaping have never stopped vaping. To them, it let's them still continue their nicotine habit while being "less offensive" than smoking to non-smokers.
That's what I've seen in friends who've switched to vaping and I freely admit it's a small sample.
FTR, glad you were able to quit and congratulations. Glad you're still with us. :-)
Yup! The LAST cigarette I smoked was on Sept 5th, 2014.
That was when I tried vaping and I have not ever smoked since then.
“I doubt my scenario is isolated.”
U R Correct !!
Vaping was originally a transition treatment, like the patch, to quitting, NOT a replacemwnt and new addictive industry.
