Why are pen-type e-cigarettes so popular? Listen to what these four new e-cigarette users have to say

Breaking old habits isn't easy, especially those you've kept for years. Most of the time, you give up and give in, and then you're right back where you started. For many smokers, this happens to a great extent. After countless attempts to quit, nicotine patches on your arms, and constant chewing of nicotine gum, the habit still persists and you're left with a feeling of despair. We know the feeling - it's easier said than done. However, as the e-cigarette industry continues to grow, more and more smokers are switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, which gives them a higher success rate in quitting.  

You might not know the difference until you try it for yourself, but it’s worth hearing from these vapers and seeing the many positive results they’ve experienced since starting their #NoSmoke journey.

For many smokers who want to quit, switching to e-cigarettes has been successful.

Hafiz Mohammad

"I used to smoke a pack a day. I know it's one of my flaws, but after years of smoking, it was hard to quit, even when my family urged me to, and lighting up in public would attract stares from others. Since e-cigarettes became popular, I decided to buy one and try to kick the habit. I'm sure I've tried everything - droppers, disposables, tanks, cartridges, and mods. I now use an e-cigarette and have never touched a cigarette since. So far, there have been no cravings or setbacks, and it's been a while. I sincerely believe it has helped improve my quality of life, and I don't regret making the change."

Rahim Ahmed

"I've been smoking for over fifteen years - since college until the invention of e-cigarettes. I suffer from smoking-induced asthma, and to be honest, I hated the phlegmy cough, frequent headaches, and chest pains, but I stuck with the habit until I decided to quit for good. Before I got into e-cigarettes, I had tried to quit smoking before, but never succeeded. It was made worse by having friends with the same habit as me, but at some point, I was desperate enough to give e-cigarettes a try. I started vaping for a few months and felt much better. I'm proud to say that I'm a smoker, and it's never too late to quit."

Siti Zain

" I didn't smoke for long, but once I started, it became a habit. It's sad to say now, but I enjoyed the process of smoking. Although it's not common for women to smoke, I couldn't quit. As I continued to smoke, the amount I smoked increased exponentially, and it also reflected in my financial situation. When a friend recommended e-cigarettes to me, I decided to give it a try, and I found that e-cigarettes could help me save money on buying cigarettes. A few months after quitting smoking, I smoked a cigarette out of curiosity one time and realized that it was no longer for me. As I vaped more and more, the taste of cigarettes became worse and worse. I haven't smoked since then, and I'm glad I chose this change."

Afsha Hassan

"Despite my bad habits, I've always considered myself a positive person. I smoked for ten years, but I just had to live with the consequences instead of trying to quit completely. I relied on cigarettes to relieve stress, and it was painful every time I woke up to go for a run or weight training. When the new year came, I decided to kick the bucket. Since buying an e-cigarette, this New Year's resolution has stayed with me. Not having tobacco in my system has made me more energetic, and I'm more active than before. I feel more relaxed and don't need to smoke anymore. Since starting to vape, I have also been working on getting my nicotine levels down, with the goal of eventually quitting. I know it's a long process, but it's definitely worth it."  

After trying a variety of quitting methods, these e-cigarette users all agree that e-cigarettes are the best way to quit smoking. From solving the pain points of smoking, saying goodbye to the unpleasant smell to encouraging the formation of better habits, e-cigarettes are the first choice, and given its popularity, maybe it can also be your alternative.
