Toward the end I was rolling my own.  You may<br \/>\nremember in the first month Obama took office he sign a bill increasing taxes on<br \/>\ncigarette tobacco.  I was paying $6 in taxes for a pound of RYO tobacco.  In one day<br \/>\nthe taxes went to over $28.00, just the taxes not including the price of the<br \/>\ntobacco.<\/p>\n<p>That was it for me. About the same time I found e-cigs and started playing with<br \/>\nthem, like they were a new toy.  I played with them for about a month in the last<br \/>\nthree days of that month I was surprised to find I had not rolled a cigarette.  I<br \/>\nimmediately rolled one, lite it, choked on it and put it out after two puffs.  I<br \/>\nhave been tobacco free since.  Last June was my three anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>It is thanks to the tax hike, videos like yours &#038; others who are Green, ECF and<br \/>\nwhoever that genius was that invented e-digs.  So Thank You.<\/p>\n<p>Making the jump from analogs to vaping is more like switching brands than quitting,<br \/>\nbut I know my health and outlook on life has changed for the better.  Much Better.,<\/p>\n<p>Barry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Phil, I was a smoker for over 45 years. Toward the end I was rolling my own.
