I started at about 14, I tried most the methods Wellbutrin, Chantix , patches, lozenges, gum. None of those ever came close to giving me even a hint that I might want to quit, in fact you could usually find me sucking on a lozenge and puffing on a Camel at the same time. I knew what vaping was but Had never tried it before, then the day when I had three Dr's yelling at me was the day I decided to try it. I started with those little mark 10 ones from the gas station, they kinda sucked and I still wanted a cigarette. Tried a Vuse vibe and that was a little better, urge to smoke was fading. But the pods were so expensive. Then I bought a real mod and haven't had a cigarette since January 19th after about 20 years of smoking. My Dr's have said it's ok and encouraged it, one while enthusiastic, warned me that estrogen and nicotine still are not good together, but it was a lot better then smoking 2 packs a day. If it were not for vaping I would definitely still be smoking. And I feel so much better, no more shortness of breath, hacking up mucus, more energy, it's great. And after stepping down the nicotene levels, I'm using it less and less. If you don't understand it, it can be intimidating getting into mods and e-juice but feel free to pm me, I'd be happy to help anyone quit smoking.
