I’ve been smoking regularly since I was 16. At 48, I finally quit. When I was a kid, in the 60’s, everyone smoked. My mom, her dad, my dad, all the neighbors, and it seemed like everyone was smoking, & doing it wherever they liked. My dad had a heart attack at 32, open heart surgery at 35, & he passed away at the ripe old age of 42. The doctors told him this was mainly attributed to cigarettes, but he kept it up.

My grandfather tried to light up in a stretcher, while being wheeled out of an operating room. Growing up during those times, it seemed like the thing to do. I’d be one of the cool guys. Little did I know back then that it was the hardest addiction to kick. It’s been documented since that it’s easier to quit using heroin.

I tried all the quitting methods. Back in the 80’s I tried the patch, when I was smoking 4 packs a day. That didn’t seem to help, so I tried 2 patches, & I was still smoking like a chimney, so I upped the ante to 3 patches, & I was still puffing away. When the reports of heart attacks & deaths of people smoking while using the patch, I did the only logical thing one could do in this situation. I quit!!.....using the patch. The thing was killing people. I’d have to be an idiot to keep using it, right?

Over the years, I tried everything there was out there. The gum, Zyban, the inhaler, Chantix, hypnotism, & the list goes on, & I kept smoking. In 2008 both me & my wife were diagnosed with very serious health issues. I HAD TO STOP! How I was going to do it, I didn’t know.

One day at the mall there was a girl at a kiosk, & it looked like she was smoking a cigarette, & I had to check her out. I also had to see what she was smoking. That was my first introduction to the electronic cigarette, & the last day I had a cigarette. She let me try one, & it felt and tasted just like a cigarette. The starter kit she was selling was $100, but I was spending $3600 a year on cigarettes. The e-cig saved me $200 in the first month. The second month, I just needed to buy a small bottle of oil for $30. I saved $270 that month.

As more & more people were asking me about my e-cig, I sent them to the company I got mine from, as I started to research different brands. Starter kits ranged from $40 to $130. After trying any brand I could find, there were more disappointments than not, until I found the company that develops the product line I carry now. I see my line being sold for $100 & up. I saw the e-cigar today selling for $200! It took me many hours of research, but I wanted to offer this line at an affordable rate. Almost a year down the road, I finally negotiated a deal that allows me to offer my products at a reasonable rate. I feel great when I hear back from customers that quit, due to my e-cig. That $200 cigar I saw today….it’s the EXACT same model that I sell for under $100. You will find similar savings on my other products, including refill cartridges and oils. I’m starting small, with three different lines, but I believe they are the best out there.

I know what you’re thinking. I hear companies advertising daily, that they will give you the e-cig free..that’s right, folks!....$0.00, but they fail to mention the cost of the batteries, cartridges, oils, etc. I checked them all. I could raise my prices another 20%, & it would still be cheaper than the “free” one.

If you do your homework, you’ll see that I have some of the most reasonable prices out there. Try mine, try theirs, just try something. YOUR BUTT STINKS!!
