I'll make mine a little simpler.

I smoked for ~ 38 years and was smoking a pack and a half a day right before I started vaping. I started vaping in June of 2011, smoked my very last cigarette in July of 2011, and have now stopped vaping as of November of 2013. I am now nicotine free for the first time since I was 14 years old.

It took a while, but it was completely painless thanks to ecigs. The people that want them banned are fools.
