JEFF ’ S VAPING JOURNEY BEGAN WITH EXPERIENCING THE CONSEQUENCES OF SMOKING FIRST-HAND
“ At the time I was a screenwriter and I ran a construction business during the day . All day long , I ’ d be driving around , giving estimates for jobs and obviously , smoking . I was smoking three packs a day at that point . “ At night , I would come home and do my screen writing . I would go into the wee hours writing and smoking . One evening , I tried to go to bed and stopped breathing . I ended up in the hospital and said that ’ s it , I ’ m never smoking another cigarette again . That was 2007 .”
JEFF BECAME AN EARLY ADOPTER OF VAPING AND IMMEDIATELY BECAME AN EVANGELIST FOR A NEW , LESS HARMFUL ALTERNATIVE TO TOBACCO
“ I started making e-liquids just for myself and figured out how to make the vape work for me . Of course , I was still doing my construction . I ’ d be out giving estimates and I would see people with cigarettes . “ When I saw that , I would pull out my vape . I would start testifying to them and showing them how it worked . This was all happening between 2007-2009 .”
