when i was smoking, each time i got a cold/flu, i would develope bronchitis and even pneumonia at times. since i started vaping, i havent had any chest problems after flu. i even bought eucalyptus vape juice which assisted in ooening my lungs and allowing me to breath better. i also do suffer from insomnia and i found a vape juice product, totally natural, which assisted in helping me sleep without any medication needed. vape is much better than cigarettes and is NOT smoke! i would recommend vaping to all my smokong friends/friends because it is a safer and better alternative.

Vaping helped me completely stop smoking cigarettes. I tried Champix twice which did not stop me from smoking cigarettes.

I started vaping 4 years ago because its tasted better than tobacco products, its cheaper and better for your health. Vaping has changed my life for the better. I can breath easier and I don’t have the cigarette cough anymore.
