Yep; when from 100's and full to the Medium then the lights for round about 36 years. I don't think the how long we smoked is as important as when we got the senses to find the better alternative.
Our new method for obtaining the fix has put a dent in their earnings.

Ditto for me. I did switch to Pall Mall toward the end of my 50 a day habit but that was price related. I have no doubt e cigs have dipped into their pocketbooks.

I've decreased their sales by over 1900 packs so far ;-)

Yeah, I just did the calculation. 3,621 packs not smoked since my last drag and an additional 465 packs that I didn't smoke while I was dual using for 7 months for a total of almost 4,100 packs.

Ha, yes. See my signature for an estimate of how many Marlboro cigarettes I have not bought in the last 2.5 years!

I cost them over 2 packs a day when I switched to vaping.
