Hi guys I'm new here. I'm 18 years old and started vaping to get away from my long addiction to cigarettes. I started smoking when I was 12 years old (my dad started me).I smoked about a pack a day for 5 years and I started to suffer from really serious lung problems, I had a really hard time breathing, even with all this I just couldn't quit. I tried everything from nicotine patches to medication to just quitting cold turkey. None of it worked. Then I discoverered vaping, it was a god send. I stopped smoking within a week of picking up my first vape pen. It has literally saved my life and I am thankful for it. I just wanted to tell my story and say hi to all you people that are part of this awesome community. Peace
