I was a total skeptic!
|
Although I have never been a heavy smoker, I have been smoking a long time. The XO cigs have a taste very similar to a real cigarette, but what many people miss with some e-cig brands, is that slight tingly stimulation in the back of the palette. XO has
got that and I find I have reduced my use of cigarettes by about half without even trying and with no feeling of being deprived! I don't think I have to even mention the convenience! The pleasure of a ciggy after a meal, and the joy not feeling like a pariah
anymore! No more shivering 10 feet from the door for your after dinner smoke, sticking your head in an airport terminal toilet as you flush just to light and take one drag, then spraying the air with your expensive perfume, hoping there is no "nicotine narc"
in the room. No hanging out of hotel windows or sleeping in a room that smells like a very old ashtray. Fresh hair, hands, clothes, and breath. Lose the purse full of scented lotions, mints, sprays, mouthwash, make-shift ashtrays, and cigarette packs wrapped
in a handkerchief. I was a true skeptic. I've tried the prescription cartridges, but the draw was not as natural as XO. The gum burned and never got enough nicotine into my system fast enough to satisfy a craving. The pills are anti-depressants with all the
side effects they bring. For me, that's feeling like a slow Zombie and a hefty co-pay. As we all know by now, commercial cigarettes have chemicals added to make them burn down if left in the ashtray and the tars that contain carcinogens stick to the lungs.
Nicotine itself does temporarily raise the blood pressure and constrict blood vessels, but this effect passes within 20 minutes or so after a dose equivalent to 1 cigarette. I can smoke around my dogs without them sneezing and hiding under the bed, I don't
have to smoke under the stove fan or on the patio, and I won't burn the house down and self-cremate. No more 20 minute Powder Room trips as I search for the door to the alley, no excuse of long lines, wallets left in the car, or calls that can't wait. I say
"Hurray" for XO and thank you for giving me back my self respect, freedom, and improving my health and removing any risk to the people and animals I love. I'm hooked and feel good about that! Thank you, XO folks! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, after
a good meal out, I can enjoy my coffee and smoke right at the table! Donna Goldner
