    Great idea for a thread - here's mine:

    1 - Were you a smoker? Yes.
    2 - If so, for how many years did you smoke? 20
    3 - Have you ever tried to quit smoking? Yes
    4 - If you answered yes, how/with what aids did you try to quit? Patches, Nicorette Inhaler, Allen Carr's EASYWAY, some weird micro-shock method.
    5 - How long have you been vaping? 21 days.
    6 - How much did you smoke before you started vaping (number of cigs/day)? 20/day.
    7 - How much do you smoke now? 0/day.
    8 - Are you smoke-free? Yes.
    9 - If so, how long have you been smoke-free? 21 days.


    21 days, and from day one you wouldn't have been able to get me to cave and smoke an analog if you put a gun to me head. My mind is still having trouble comprehending how trivial it was giving up analogs for vapour.
