I never approved of smoking cigarettes, the idea of being a smoker was repulsive and sickening.
I looked at people who smoked and wondered how the hell they enjoyed suffocating themselves with something so toxic and distasteful.*Like most adolescent teens our biggest goal throughout high school was to " fit in " we all wanted to be considered " cool " right? In highschool the cool kids were the ones that always wore their shades, had their baggy pants with half there asses showing and they had their cancer sticks, a cigarette hanging from their mouths, basically the whole douchebag attire but they were the kids that seemed to get the most attention from their peers, especially the women, something about the way they dressed, talked and acted appealed to these obviously clueless women. One day at school I decided to relocate myself from my usual area and surround myself with these group of kids and that's when it all started. I remember being offered my first cigarette, I was 16, a million thoughts had ran through my head before thinking to myself " Hey, If I smoke and act like these kids they might consider me cool! " Looking back on it now, my first cigarette should have been my last, I remember taking my first drag and coughing up a storm, it was the most unpleasant and vile thing I had ever tasted but I forced myself to smoke it as I knew I would never get addicted to something so appalling. I than smoked a few cigerrets off and on throughout the week until due to a few circumstances that were happening in my life at the time, smoking became a regular part of my life. I'm 21, It's been about five years now and I have smoked a half a pack a day, sometimes more, for as long as I can remember. My friends and family have known me as a smoker, the one thing that I could never figure out is when did I decide to become a smoker, I don't think anybody in the right mental state would one day decide " Hey, Lets start slowly killing ourselves by smoking ". Now, even though I enjoyed smoking, I still hated the idea of being a smoker. The smell, The taste, The consequences and the amount of freaking money I spent was always a turn off, $14 a pack give or take a few cents. I always told myself that I would quit the dreadful habit. I had my half ass attempts where I would go around telling people I quit but when I had a spare moment alone I would sneak a puff here and there to get my fix. After five years of continuing this dreadful habit I began to get bored and yet I still didn't have enough desire to quit smoking. About a few months ago i purchased my first ego styled vaporizer and although I enjoyed the experience, I didn't feel like it was going to help me quit smoking. On July 18th, 2015, I decided to purchase another Mod, The Ego One, I have not had a cigarette since!!!! I have not really experienced one craving nor have I gone through any form of withdrawals, yes, I'll admit there are some moments where I think to myself *" Dam, A cigarette would be nice right now " and I know that within just five seconds, I may be trapped within the addiction again and to me that is not worth it. I don't know how I spent the last five years of my life addicted to something so horrid. I am feeling so much better, There has been nothing but positive results so far and it's only been five weeks. I can breathe so much easier, my circulation has vastly improved. My sense of smell has improved drastically as well, this goes without saying my taste has also improved! I have so much more energy and although it is unpleasant, I seem to be clearing out all the crap from my lungs. Although it hasn't been that long, I hope that I am for sure done with cigerettes this time and I am excited and eager to continue to learn about vaping and continue vaping myself. I am now running a 0.5 OCC with the Subtank Nano on the Cool Fire IV on 25 Watts! Just looking to learn the ropes and become a part of the vaping community!
Thank-you, Brandon707.
