"It Has Saved My Life" - Vaping Consumer

I was a lifelong tobacco smoker, having become addicted in my very early teens primarily as a result of the regulatory failures already referred to. I tried to quit smoking for more than 40 years via "cold-turkey", various NRT systems and even hypnotherapy. Each of these quit attempts failed.
About 10 years ago I discovered vaping and, after a couple of false starts as I determined which delivery system and formulation worked best for me, I finally quit smoking and I have not used tobacco for many years now. As a result of my years of tobacco smoking I remain a nicotine addict but I have been able to gradually reduce my intake by more than 50 percent since taking up vaping.
I remain hopeful that I will eventually be able to completely eliminate nicotine from my life but, even if that hope is not realised, my vastly improved health and fitness (not to mention my financial health) are an enduring benefit of vaping as an effective smoking cessation strategy. It has saved my life.
