In that 10 years, I avoided smoking 146,000 cigarettes, I have saved $43,800.00, including not paying over $8,000.00 in taxes. And best of all, my health is way better than when I was smoking and I don't stink, at least from smoking that is.

I know what some will say, why even vape? Honestly, I enjoy it and since there is no down side, why not. Did you know, that in the twenty years that vaping has been around now, not a single illness or death has been caused by vaping? Regardless of some of the scary stories you've heard, that's a fact.

If you see news of the dangers of vaping, you can bet it comes from the tobacco industry who hates vapes. They've lost millions of dollars as folks throw away the cancer sticks and switch to vaping. When you see those scary stories about someone suffering a major medical issue from vaping, again, that's either big tobacco propaganda or someone was abusing or misusing vaping products or using illicit products. And please don't say Popcorn Lung, do the research. It's not even a real thing.

Last year, I had my doctor look at my most recent chest X-Ray just to see how my lungs looked. She said they looked perfectly normal in fact very good for my age. Some might still say I'd be better off not vaping, and that might be true. But I'm sure I'd be better off if we didn't have bacon and eggs breakfast every Thursday night for supper. Probably, drinking four or five Canada Dry Ginger Ales a day isn't the best for my health either. And if you're one of those folks running around twenty, thirty or forty pounds over weight, that's probably not best for your health either. And everyone knows consuming those adult beverages is bad for you in many ways. We all have our things.

If you're still a smoker and you want an easy way to quit, vaping is the answer. It sure was for me.
