I’ve gone from smoking a two ounce pouch of tobacco a day to not smoking at all. Just like that, with only one session. I am surprised every day that goes by that I don’t want a cigarette but I haven’t touched them or wanted to. It’s the best thing I have ever done and it was a lot easier than I expected it to be. I was the best thing I have ever done. – J.Stanwell
