When I was first asked to do this article for VaporFi, I was torn, I love to keep my blog very family friendly and don’t really like controversy much, but there was another side of me that knew this message had to get out and that it was so important to families out there that may be getting some false information about E-Cigarettes and vaping. I am only able to tell you the truth by my own experience and by the research I have done.
I was a long time smoker, I smoked from when I was a young teen until I was 43 yrs old. I smoked when I was pregnant, I smoked when I breastfed and I smoked inside my house when my kids were growing up. I am not incredibly proud of that but I was addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes, plain and simple I was addicted. Nicotine is a very serious addictive substance and some say it is even more addictive than cocaine, I am not really sure, I have never done drugs, so I don’t have an honest comparison, I do know however I tried to quit 8 times before I was finally successful about 4 years ago.
The difference for me was e-cigs or what people call vaping. I never thought it was possible, but this tool allowed me the success I could not find in other ways. I had read books, I had tried programs from state agencies, I tried nicotine gum, hypnosis, gum chewing, ice chewing, straws in my mouth, you name it I used it to try to quit smoking. The day I was hypnotized, I smoked the moment I left the office, I was sure to die from a smoking related disease.
Enter E-cigs and vaping, finally the tool that I needed to quit smoking. I am not alone, research, published in the journal Addiction, also found that e-cigarette users were nearly 60 percent more likely to quit tobacco than smokers who go cold turkey. Researchers surveyed 5,863 smokers from 2009 and 2014 and found that of those who switched to e-cigs, 20 percent said they quit smoking with the help of these devices. These are huge numbers and they are still working.
I know there is controversy and I know that some think, they are just as bad as analog cigarettes, and I also know that it is NOT RISK FREE, however when it comes down to it, I quit smoking that only happened because of electronic cigarettes, I now vape. My doctor is happy, my lungs look great, my blood work is better, I stopped having repeative ear infections and I no longer was breathing in a burning plant. My husband, kids, friends and grandkids are no longer exposed to second-hand smoke because of e-cigarettes. That is the final fact that made me decide to put this on the blog, this is FAMILY friendly, if you are a smoker or living with a smoker, this is important information for your FAMILY.
