Chris said: “I had gone into my final year of university and there was a group project…in the group was my now wife who hated smoking, when I was smoking up to 2 packs a day.” the habit back up again, leaving his wife feeling frustrated and her willingness to want to start a family decreased.

After asking her out countless times and being met with a firm ‘no’, Chris subsequently quit smoking in order to get a chance with the girl he was longing for.

He quit completely for two whole years when they eventually moved in and began their new life together.

This was all down to his cigarette use, leaving Chris with an ultimatum…the cigarettes, or a future with his wife.

It was then that he made the allimportant switch to vaping, which changed not only his life but his relationship with his partner, forever. He said: “It has reinvigorated our relationship and allowed us to focus on what is important…spending more time together.”

There were plenty of noticeable benefits to no longer smoking that Duncan could list, however, his favourite was no longer having ‘the smell of cigarettes lingering in my hair and on my clothes’.

Along with this and the added bonus of a variety of flavour, he found that vaping allowed him to exercise better and more consistently because he was no longer struggling for breath.

He said: “Breathing as I lay down to sleep but the tobacco, that causes a lot of cigarette-related diseases.

Just a week into vaping, he dared to say goodbye to the cigarettes and before he knew it, he didn’t feel the need to smoke anymore.
