Mixing e liquid, building coils, blowing clouds and creating recipes is all good fun, but we often forget what brought us all to vaping in the first place: Quitting smoking.

Yes there is an increasing number of vapers who have never smoked, but the vast majority of people who regularly use e cigarettes are ex-smokers who have finally given up the habit after attempts with gum, patched, lozenges etc failed.

As the owner of ELFC, I was inspired to write this following a giveaway on the HomeBrew UK FaceBook group that we were sponsoring in which I asked a simple question: When Did You Quit Smoking?

This question was accompanied by a short paragraph explaining what brought me to vaping which read: “Back in 2012 I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that was directly related to smoking. That diagnosis had a massive impact on my life, and without vaping, I know I would be in a far worse situation than I am now”.

The response I got was a real insight into how vaping has had such a positive impact on people’s lives. Here are some of the answers my question received. No names, just initials have been used.
