Customer Testimonial On New Parenthood, Smoking And The Switch To E-Cigarettes

Customer Testimonial On New Parenthood, Smoking And The Switch To E-Cigarettes

This week we have a testimonial from one of our customers who used e-cigarettes to get away from cigarettes, get a bit healthier for themselves and their new-born and even save a bit of money along the way.

 

It’s all about change — becoming a first-time parent and switching to using E-Cigarettes.

 

When you find out you are pregnant you obviously want the best for you and the unborn child from the offset, so giving up smoking should be a piece of cake…

 

Wrong. Absolutely nothing is simple about A) being a parent or B) just giving up smoking at the drop of a hat. Combine the two together and you have a recipe for trouble. 

 

I had stupidly started smoking from the age of about 18, first causally but then those odd 1 or 2 whilst out turned into a 20 a day habit at a blink of an eye. I smoked solidly for about 10 years before turning it around and quitting when I retrained as a personal trainer. 

 

Unlike others though I had actually given up smoking 3 years before having my first child. It was quite easy to walk away from smoking the first time around — though I would still slip into old habits if I ever managed to get myself out of a PE kit ! When I found time to socialise with friends on a Friday night the odd cigarette always slipped in every few months.

 

I totally broke free when I decided to train to take part in competitive body building and was on my way to build a body which was stage ready when I also found out I was 6 months pregnant.

 

Fast forward 3 months and after a long labour I was gifted a small bundle of joy as the world always puts it…

 

The next couple of months consisted of sleepless nights, no real routine, and a sense of general unease in my life. Stress built up and pretty soon I soon found myself buying cigarettes whenever I did a food shop.

 

I didn’t want to be a full time smoker — but it was like visiting an old friend, something I could cling onto that reminded me of my old life while I tried to adapt to this new scary one as a parent.

 

 

The big switch…

 

I had heard about E-cigarettes and vaping but always had been put off by the huge tanks I had seen people walking around with. I didn’t want to be blowing out clouds of vapour that made other bystanders look like they were standing at the local disco next to the dry ice machine.

 

So I avoided this option for a while, spending huge amounts on my cigarette habit all the while knowing that 2nd hand smoke was such a large factor in newborns and cot death.

 

The big decision to switch over to E-cigarettes almost happened by mistake. Although I was ready to quit smoking, it was actually the look of the shop and the friendly atmosphere that made me wonder in one day while out on a walk.

 

I was greeted and talked through all the options and to my surprise none of the devices that I was shown where chunky and offensive to the eye.

 

I settled for a simple E cigarette, which was great as it felt like a cigarette to hold. It also produced the same amount of vapour as a cigarette does smoke, so no worries about clouds of vapour. The hit on my throat was great as well, giving me the same feel as a cigarette.

 

I felt smug in my choice, I could carry on my daily battle with parenthood without the parent guilt that smoking gave me.

 

After a few weeks I also started to see the extra money I was saving add up into my bank account. This was a great boost as it was a visceral reminder of what I was doing by making the switch, and even prompted me to buy some new running trainers. Almost back to myself now I thought pre-parenthood, as my feet pounded the pavements.

 

I’m not going to lie, I felt super unfit, but it could have been worse if I had continued smoking.

 

 

The perfect ending….

 

I’m nearly 4 years into my journey of parenthood and 3 into using E Cigarettes and I am not looking back. Just a few things I have gained in this time 1) Lots of grey hairs 2) a healthier lifestyle 3) happier, healthier lungs and 4) a few more extra pennies in my pocket!!!

SMOKING IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE THINGS FOR OUR HEALTH

For the last 5 decades, doctors and medical professionals have been saying that smoking cigarettes is one of the worst things for your health.

All the recent research does suggest that vaping is much safer than smoking traditional cigarettes. There are very few side effect of vaping you should be aware of the symptoms of vaping too much and how to control the amount of nicotine you consume.

But without the 4,000 chemicals, tar and 2nd hand smoke found with traditional tobacco, vaping is by far a better choice for a healthier lifesytle.
