" I have been vaping nicotine (flavoured) juices over seven years now using a Nicotine based vaping device. Prior to this I smoked for over twenty years during which I tried every NRT available, over multiple attempts but sadly the addiction was too strong and I always failed in my attempts. As a smoker I was constantly short of breath and wheezing to the point of needing ventolin. I suffered chest pain, smokers cough, headaches and nausea. My family and I were always worried about my health.
My mother had also battled her cigarette addiction for most of her life. She started vaping
eleven years ago and was amazed by how much better she felt. I was convinced this product
could work for me too. So I finally plucked up the courage to try and quit again, although in my mind I doubted I would ever be able to give them up for good.
Since choosing vaping as an alternative to smoking my health has completely turned around
and my confidence has grown immensely as I was finally able to quit!
We are the proof that vaping works. Most of us, life long smokers, who's physical and mental
health has dramatically improved."
