For the past 15 years I have smoked at least a pack a day, some days a pack and a half. I have tried quitting more times than I can count. Tried the patch, tried the gum, and tried the medicine.  Typically I would last about a week to two weeks. Once I made it over a month. Yes the nicotine was a factor in my failures but the stop smoking aids did help with the nicotine cravings. The biggest contributor to my failures was that I missed physically smoking. —- I missed having my pack of cigarettes. I missed pulling out a cigarette, settling in and putting the cigarette to my mouth. I missed the whirls of smoke and holding the cigarette in my hand. I felt like I was depriving myself of an old faithful friend. I felt lost, empty and bored because this physical act had become such an engrained activity in my life and now it was gone. Every time I failed in my attempts to quit I always said to myself if only there was a way to smoke but not smoke….

I hated the nasty smell of the cigarette and how it made me and all my stuff smell disgusting. I hated the tons of burn holes I had done in my years of smoking. I hated the ashes all over the place. I hated the HUGE amounts of money I was spending on this nasty habit.  I hated myself because I knew that I was continuing to do something that I knew was bad for me, something that could and likely would cause me to have an agonizing death.  With all of this I still couldn’t get rid of the desire for the act of physically smoking.

What I have been looking for for years is FINALLY here!!!

Ecigs—- no more nasty smell, no more burn holes, no more second hand smoke, no more ashes. Everything I love in a cigarette without everything I hate! I get the nicotine I want and the security of my pack sitting there. I get to pull out a cigarette, settle in and smoke but not smoke!

And the cost is cheaper than any pack I have ever bought in my 15 years of smoking!

So to all of you who continue to smoke the old fashion way it is time to see and experience what cigarettes have evolved to.

I was a little skeptical to say the least. Been smoking for years; just throwing money away. Then I was introduced to these e-cigarettes. I’m not really hip to all the latest things on the market so the idea of an electronic cigarette just struck me as odd. But I decided to give it a go. It was only $59.95 out the door which is what I’m practically paying for one cartoon of regular cigarettes in my area now.

After the package arrived priority mail, it sat around for a few days before I got a chance to sit down and really take a look at it. I unpacked everything, took a look at the quick-guide, loaded up a classic tobacco low nicotine cartridge, and took a drag off the eCig. Wow! I was truly amazed. It was just like a regular cigarette. It tasted like a cigarette, it felt like a cigarette (nicotine), and it smoked like a cigarette. The vapor coming from these still amazes me. How do they do that?

Needless to say, I’m hooked. I still have the occasional Marlboro when I don’t have my blu eCigs around, but I’ve gone from smoking 1 – 2 packs a day of regular cigarettes to about 2 or 3 a week.

I’ll recommend blu to all my friends.
