Well I never thought I would see the day where I feel most hopeful of giving up smoking. I was a very heavy smoker, smoking 50 a day and really didn't want to give up. I have had a number of health issues because of it, the worst being a long term user of steroids for treating asthma, which has resulted in a number of crush fractures caused by the steroids leeching the bones and a number of recent hospital stays.
I had been looking at the e-cigarettes for awhile and after talking with a few people I decided that I would give them a go, so checked out the website and placed my order and after being admitted to hospital the last time and not smoking for several days I decided that was the time to start in earnest.
It will be 3 weeks tomorrow since I smoked a cigarette and apart from a couple of cravings early on I have barely missed them and am so happy. I am at last giving myself a chance to get off the treadmill I was on. I just want to urge anyone that is thinking of giving up smoking to check out the e-cigarettes and read up on them. There are still dangers with using the e-cigarettes, but for me they are certainly far better than ordinary cigarettes. I am particularly happy that my youngest son who is 27 has decided to give them a go also.
Good luck to anyone else who is thinking of giving up, and hopefully you will find the method that best suits you. I just wanted to share this with all of you and will keep you updated!
