Hi folks,
I'm sure most of you will find this as strange as I do/did.........
I have been a smoker for 22years, a heavy smoker at that, I have been smoking Golden Virginia tobacco for the last i'd say 5 years anyway, as I could not keep up with a 30plus a day habit with regular cigs.
I happened to be out for lunch in a cafe last week (for a full irish breakfast) lol, and reading a newspaper there came across an advert for one of those e-cigs. A gimmick i assumed, but at £20 delivered with the alleged equivilent of 240 cigs, I decided to give it a go.
So wed morning it arrived.......
I have to admit I was pleasently surprised, the only downfall is (well maybe its just me being virtually a chain smoker) the equivileent amount of cigs was greatly exagerated. I estimate the 240 was closer to 140, and there is a 4 hour wait on the single battery I got to charge.
In all fairness, in between charges I did not want a real cig, and by saturday, the real cigs I was smoking during the charge cycle where starting to disgust me.
So me being me, decided to do some google searching to see where I could get another battery or 3 and cheaper refill cartridges, only to find that there is actually a massive community of people growing on a daily basis.
Some of which havent smoked real tobacco in 4 plus years. To me this is pretty awesome, as I have tried everything and never managed to stay off the cigs for any length of time, in actual fact I had long since given up on giving up.
Anyway after some long talks and plenty of reading and advice from others that have chosen this path and stayed off the stinkies I have got a proper kit, and so begins my journey to stop smoking tobacco.
Hopefully a step in the right direction lol.
Anyway, just though I would share!
Dan.
