Quitting those toxic sticks called cigarettes was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Those little devils stopped me from having panic attacks, dulled the stress in the back of my mind, and kept my hands busy in situations that I couldn't handle without. They were my life for years, yet they caused me more damage than I can even fathom. I was then introduced to a whole new world, the day that my partner purchased an e-cigarette. Now I know that there is a strange outlook on the world of vaping, so I turned my nose up at the little contraption when it was offered to me. I didn't want to turn into "one of those" people. So I continued to smoke outside in the rain, whilst my partner vaped inside. He would fill rooms with various scents from fruit, to my favourite snacks, whilst I continued to drench myself in the musty smell that came from my favourite ten pack. I can still vividly remember, swearing at him under my breath, as the light from his e-cig charging at night would keep me up. That was until I became ill. Ever since I had started smoking, I had cut down on food and has lost weight in a rapid rate. I would postpone, or skip meals all together as my trusty cigarettes never made my stomach rumble. Exercise became harder and harder, causing small inclines on a footpath, to become mountains for me to conquer. Due to all of the changes my body was then going through, small coughs and colds became something much more serious. A simple case of a cold, turned into the worst flu I ever had. My chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe. My body ached and I would throw up black tar every night. To top it all off. I couldn't go outside for my favourite activity - smoking. We lived up several flights of stairs, and the thought of leaving my bed, never mind climbing that mountain, was hard enough for to handle. I tossed and turned all night, until eventually I gave in. I reached over to my partner's side, and picked up his e-cig. After one breath, I was hooked. I would smoke it until my mouth was dry, and bask in the fact that I didn't have to move. My partner went out the next day, and purchased me a bright pink e-cigarette of my very own, and I couldn't have been happier. I could still smoke to my hearts content, yet I didn't have to move a muscle. After two weeks I finally felt better. I stepped outside into the fresh air, and of course lit a cigarette. One drag from it made me throw up into the drain. It was fowl. The pure taste of ash. I might as well have licked an ash tray from the local pub clean. I was repulsed, and after frowning at the wasted toxic stick that I had thrown onto the floor, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my vaper once more. I haven't touched a cigarette since. It truly was the turning point in my life. Some time has passed, and I feel healthier than I ever did before. I can run for the bus, and not lose my breath. My hunger is back with a vengeance, and colds and coughs are a thing of the past. I never realised how much it affected me until I took a step back. The best part of it all?
