Smoking Cessation

My mother smoked until she got emphysema. HER dad died of lung cancer.
I got an e-cig January 2014. It took me all of four days to switch over completely, and by that time, the real cig tasted so gross by comparison (e-cig is much cleaner-tasting), that I stubbed last last cig out after three puffs.
You can get any flavor of the juice you'd like! Most start with something that is similar to their cigarettes, but these days I'm all about tart and tangy fruit flavors. Yum! I use flavors that complement whatever I'm drinking: mocha or mint with my coffee, and the fruity flavors with iced tea or ginger ale.
Taste and smell have returned, I don't stink of cigs, and no more phlegmy cough! I joke that I have nothing to do for the first five minutes after I get up in the morning. I got back my singing voice! I love music and that was always a hobby of mine.
I buy fairly expensive juice, from a company that's considered to be "gourmet," and I still save so much money that it's nuts.
My adult daughters are so happy about it!
I feel like I've been set free.

Most of all, remember that most of the harm from smoking is from the combustion (that's what the e-cig eliminates), NOT the nicotine.
