VAPERS VOICES

Although I am not an ex cigarette smoker, I did smoke hubbly which I left for vaping, however, I have convinced a hand full of people who did smoke to make the change to vaping and most every time these people tell me that their breathing has gotten better and that they can smell and taste their food again. I wholeheartedly believe that vaping is the absolute best thing that has come along since the advent of smoking. Placing such a high nicotine tax on e-liquid would be devastating and would result in ex smokers returning to cigarettes and placing their health at a much higher risk. We need only to refer to the study conducted by public health England and the Royal College of Physicians to see the tremendous impact vaping has had and how many lives it can save. I truly hope we will win this fight and keep helping people who are trying to stay away from cigarettes.

I started smoking when I was 16 years old. A dumb decision by an equally dumb child. Once the tobacco industry has you in your teen years, the likelihood of you quitting is zero to none without extreme effort. I honestly don’t know an adult person who decided to start smoking later in their life. I’ve been struggling on and off for 15 years to quit and the longest I’ve quit was 9 months, and it was with the help of a vape. Even when I picked up cigarettes again (which was a stupid decision on my part) my intake went down from 2 packs to 1 pack of cigarettes a day. My nicotine intake has gone from 12mg to 3mg in 2 years and my long term plan is to get off vaping entirely by next year. I also rarely vape and I can easily leave it at home when running errands or going for a quick visit. I’ve not picked up a cigarette in 3 months now and I intend to stick to that. If it wasn’t for vaping, I honestly don’t know what I would have done. I probably would still be smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Also the flavours helps so much. The taste of burning tobacco is absolutely revolting and while I don’t mind other people liking a tobacco vape flavour, I can’t stand the smell or taste of it anymore, so removing other flavours would be detrimental to so many people. I think the point of having different flavours is to actually get away from that tobacco taste that keeps you hooked. And it’s definitely helped me. When I was smoking, I could hardly breathe or walk up stairs and I used to wake up at night, coughing my lungs out and not being able to breathe for several hours. I sleep and breathe much better now and it feels like I can breathe deeply, whereas before I had very shallow breathing. I can also breathe through my nose now and my smokers cough is completely gone. I used to have horrible pains in my chest as well and that’s all gone. My skin looks better, my energy levels are up and I am less moody. Vaping has truly made my life and health so much better.

Well was a smoker and i enjoyed it, i was also a rugby player and i gymed. I found that something changed, i could not run without getting out of breath. I them saw people vaping and i saw on Facebook a company TKO. I started wacthing there lives when Lockxown 1st started. From there i started vaping fullout out and have not stopped since. It has xhanged my life and health in a big way. Also i only use the TKO range. Vaping saves lives.

I have c ma and found that I smoked the more I will end up in hospital. Because of my asthma. I almost died because of my asthma due to the fact that I smoked. With vaping I the three years, I only had one mild asthma attack that I could use my asthma pump

A healthier life

When I smoked cigarettes it left me with more negative effects than positives, I struggled with constant sinusitis and headaches that were quite severe. After I quit smoking though and switched to vaping it has been much better and I no longer have sinus problems as well as overall better health. I would say my level of addiction to nicotine has been completely taken away and I can go about my daily life as I normally would have without cravings for a cigarette.
