VAPERS VOICES

Best health choice I’ve ever made, kicking the stickies! I lead an active lifestyle, and never felt better. Since I started vaping, I haven’t been sick once. Got sick at leastbonce a year, with a respiratory infection, when I was smoking

I was a heavy smoker and failed to quit four times. Gum, patches, meh. With my vape on hand and a juice, l enjoyed, I sat smoking a cigarette, decided that it was my last one and immediately switched to vaping only. Suddenly, quitting was possible. A day three days a week, three weeks. I still got my nicotine fix without all the poison from cigarettes, I enjoy it, and I don’t smell like a wet ashtray anymore. My morning cough, shortness of breath and regular heart-racing is gone and I haven’t been ill since

I started smoking at the age of 15, by my late teens I was smoking 25 to 30 cigarettes a day. I tried to give up many times but I wasn’t able to do it. At the age of 41 in 2019 I believed that quitting was a lost cause and that I was destined to smoke for the rest of my life, until a friend loaned me a vape device. I had been unwilling to spend the money on a vape device as I didn’t believe it would help me quit but my friend suggested I try it, just to see what it was like. I bought a bottle of Caramel Apple Cake flavoured juice and tried vaping, just to try it, but I didn’t intend to quit smoking. I enjoyed the flavour of the juice so I kept going back for another puff, just to enjoy it. within 10 days I was getting enough nicotine satisfaction from the vape that I had dropped to 10-12 cigarettes a day without realising. on 1st august 2019 I smoked 1 cigarette first thing in the morning and then got ready to go out. I decided to go for my morning out and try to see if I could do the whole morning without smoking, and I did. and the afternoon, and so on. three years on I still have not smoked another cigarette. soon after I switched to vaping I could feel my health improving. I could walk and cycle further and faster, I was sleeping better, I have had fewer days off work sick and my sense of smell and taste have improved. I truly believe that vaping has make me healthier and extended my life. I also think that the flavour’s of vape juice available were a significant factor, if I had not enjoyed the flavour so much I would not have kept going back to the vape. Even now, three years smoke free, I wont vape tobacco flavours because I worry that inhaling tobacco flavour vape will connect me to smoking and draw me back.

I had tried to quit multiple times but never managed to. Vaping became more accessible and it was very effective in getting me off of cigarettes. I was able to quit cigarettes in less than 2 months.

I chain smoked for years until i met my wife, she was also a smoker but then got really sick with severe bronchitis and doctors said she will get emphysema if she didn’t quit, she quit the same day, I couldn’t kick the habit or go cold turkey as she did and I decided to invest in a Electronic cigarette device and various flavours of Eliquids, this was one of the best decision i could have made, I chucked the stinkies away immediately and never looked back. 10 years later I am healthier, my family is healthier.

I lit my first cigarette when I was around 15 or 16. With both my parents smoking, it didn’t take much peer pressure to get me to try it. What started as the occasional puff quickly turned into a full pack a day by the time I left high school. That later became two packs. By my late 30s, I switched to rolling tobacco and discovered flavoured blends, which I absolutely loved. Then COVID hit. Lockdowns, bans, and desperation led me to a tobacco farmer, and I started making my own flavoured blends from raw tobacco. I knew it wasn’t doing me any favours, but at that point, smoking was just part of my life. That December, after the lockdown was lifted, I was introduced to my first vape. I’d seen them around but believed the usual scaremongering—”they’re worse than cigarettes,” “they’ll kill you faster,” and so on. But after everything I’d been rolling and smoking, I figured I’d at least try one. Curiosity, more than anything, got me to take that first puff. I started with disposables, drawn in by their rich fruity flavours. But then I got my hands on a PX80 and discovered dessert flavours. That was it. Hooked. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I quit smoking because it wasn’t a conscious decision—it just happened. As my love for vaping grew, cigarettes faded into the background. Then I got my first mech mod and RDA, and there was no turning back. I started making my own coils, mixing my own juice, and before I knew it, vaping wasn’t just a replacement for smoking—it was a hobby, a passion, and a way of life. Today, I’m deeply involved in the vaping community, sharing my experiences, doing reviews, and helping others find better alternatives to smoking. I went from rolling my own cigarettes to crafting my own e-liquids, and if you told 16-year-old me that one day I’d be advocating for vaping, I’d have laughed through a cloud of cheap cigarette smoke. But here I am. Smoke-free. Healthier. And loving every flavourful moment of it.

Vape better then cigarettes
