My story starts 36 years ago. Still to this day, I have trouble believing I became a smoker. Both of my parents smoked. I hated that, and was continually waving away the smoke, hiding their cigarettes, and complaining. Finally, when I was in college, my roommate and I decided we'd add smoking to our weight loss plan. We'd eat a very small amount, then choke down a cigarette or two. It certainly did cut down on our eating...UNTIL we became used to smoking, and didn't get sick every time we lit up! Before we knew it, both of us NEEDED to smoke. We were addicts.

I had been smoking for about thirty-six years until I started developing a cough recently. This cough started out as occasional and progressed to very often. Not wanting to admit that maybe the cause of the cough could be smoking, I decided I must have allergies to the chemicals I use every day while working in my hair salon. This led me to purchase all kinds of cough syrups, over the counter allergy meds, and throat lozenges. I bought machines to clean the air and stopped using aerosol sprays. Funny thing, the cough didn't go away or even diminish.

I started getting slightly short of breath, then progressed to VERY short of breath. I could no longer climb mountains, water ski, or play sports with my boys. I used to walk for miles daily. My boundless energy was gone. At night I would lie in bed and feel my heart pounding while my chest ached. I began to suspect COPD. Denial made me hope that I had something wrong with my heart. I felt something could be done to help me if I had heart troubles. COPD sounded too scary, too final. I went to a heart clinic to get checked out. After a treadmill test, ultra sounds, etc., it was determined that my heart was fine. This left me no choice but to admit I had a serious lung problem.

A trip to my doctor confirmed my worst suspicion. I had emphysema. Without being told, I knew I had to stop smoking. Now began the endless cycle of stopping and starting smoking. I tried almost every quit smoking aid on the market. I would stop for a few days, then start bumming the occasional puff from my husband. Of course this would lead me to buying my own cigarettes and trying to limit myself to so many per day. Then, before I knew it, I would be back up to my pack or more daily. My breathing got harder and harder until I couldn't walk across my yard without my heart pounding and my lungs gasping for breath. Doing chores that involved bending or carrying were very hard.

My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin to help me quit smoking. This helped, but I knew I needed more help than that. Later one day I was talking to a good friend of mine, she told me about herbal quit smoking formula and how she had managed to quit with it.

Later that night I was thinking about what my friend had told me, and decided to check out the product she was using called "Zero Nicotine". So I went to their website and was encouraged by what I found. There where dozens of stories and testimonials of people explaining how it helped them to quit..

I Tried Zero Nicotine And It Worked...

I decided to go ahead and buy a one-month supply of Zero Nicotine and test it out for myself, seeing as how it looked safe and professional I figured worst case scenario, nothing would happen. I will spare you the details, but after about two weeks on the program my cravings decreased by 50%.

After a month on the program I have almost reduced to less than 5 cigarettes a day from a pack a day, and I my shortness of breath has decreased. Also I was actually sleeping better, and had a lot more energy throughout the day! I felt a lot healthier. The all natural blend of ingredients inside Zero Nicotine worked wonders for me, and didn't have any side effects as far as I could tell.

...But "Ciga Cease" Was Better

Just before I was about to order another months worth of Zero Nicotine (They recommend a 3 month program to achieve the maximum benefit.) I found a better product called "Ciga Cease". What I liked the most about it was that it had all the same benefits as Zero Nictonine, but also the formula had ingredients to lower stress and anxiety levels and also included a detox, to cleanse the body from smoking related toxins. Overall It seemed to me that it was actually more healthy product, and a much better deal.

I still wasn't completely sure if I wanted to risk switching products after I had already seen such amazing results with Zero Nicotine, but they offered a risk free, pay nothing for 30 days trial. They even pay shipping, so that really gave me no excuse to say no. I had them ship me the 30-day supply and after I had used it all, I quit completely and I am smoke free for over a month now.

I'm happy to report that my cough is completely gone, my chest doesn't ache, my heart quit pounding. I'm back to being able to walk for exercise again. Although my lungs will never be as strong as they once were, my breathing is much, much improved. I have given myself and my family the precious gift of my longer life.

For those of you who are contemplating stopping smoking, or those who are struggling to stay quit, please, please, don't give up. The difficult times will pass. There really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I'm thankful to Ciga Cease every day, for providing me with the strength to enter the nonsmoking world, and become a WINNER!

Sincerely,
