It has vastly improved my health and fitness and lung function tested annually at my place of employment. I stopped smoking when I got my first vape and haven’t smoked or craved cigarettes since.

Its actually my husband. He had a stroke and we was battling with giving up smoking. We introduced him to disposables first. Then his own device. Now its been 3 years since he smoked a cigarette. Health wise his so much better.
