in smoking rates."

Robert J. Shapiro, Siddhartha Aneja Progressive Policy Institute "To the surprise of all including myself I quit smoking after 42 years with the help of my ecigs..."

Debora Johnson

"I am a Vietnam Veteran who has had a Cigarette addiction for over 50 years... I am reporting to you that I am now 3 months cigarette free and was able to work my nicotine level down to zero and will soon be giving up vaping as well, I was most grateful to have been able to quit after all these years..."

Roger Price

"...My girlfriend bought her vaporizer a few days after me and we are proud to say we are smoke free and do not plan on going back to smoking cigarettes ever again..." Brandon Michael Stedman "I found myself using the vaporizer even on my trips outside among all the smokers. By the time I came home, I had little desire for cigarettes anymore, and had grown to quite dislike the taste of them. I’ve only been home from that seminar for three days and in that time I’ve smoked two cigarettes. Two! Out of the 40-50 I would have normally smoked by now..."
