What Prompted You to Try an Electronic Cigarette Part I

Here are this week's entries, in parts, from our contest, What Prompted You to Try an Electronic Cigarette.

We look forward to announcing our winner soon!

Entry 1 from Gayle

I quit smoking 5 years ago and had a great deal of stress, lost a 14 year job, had family members move in our home, instead of hospice, son-in-law killed towing a semi out of a ditch leaving my 29 year old daughter a widow with 3 children, the youngest at 2 months old. I loved smoking but hated the smell and the ashtray mess, not to mention what it was likely doing to my health. With all the stress I was tempted to pick up the habit again, but decided to try the electronic cigarettes. I wasn’t thrilled with the several brands that I bought locally. I didn’t like the taste and the volume of smoke was inconsistent. A family member tried the safecigs as she was going on a cruise where she couldn’t smoke. She told me about how much she liked them so I tried them. I love them! I love the volume of smoke, and the flavor. I’ve recently tried the columbian flavor- a smooth taste of coffee and chocolate. It’s wonderful and I no longer have the urge to smoke a cigarette. Thank you Safecigs!

Entry 2 from Mary

I first used the safe cig when I visited my daughter for a week, her 2 yr. old has asthma so no smoking around him. Also I have COPD and with safe cig., I need fewer breathing treatments and use oxygen less. My last PFT showed improvement in all three categories, the tech said he rarely saw that happen. Also I don’t feel guilty about offending people from the smell of tobacco and second-hand smoke.I like my clothes not being stained with nicotine and all my furnishings look and smell better. Other methods to quit smoking have failed, caused anxiety and depression or made me sick. so I consider the safe cig a life saver for me. Thank you.
